Why Exhibit?

If you supply goods or services to the conference and hospitality industry then you will know that it is more important than ever to meet influencers and decision makers and generate new leads for your business.

The Conference and Hospitality Show does just that. It provides a platform to meet key people who you can do business with.

But don’t just take our word for it:



Some Testimonials from previous Exhibitors

The Conference and Hospitality Show does just that. It provides a platform to meet key people who you can do business with. But don’t just take our word for it:

John Swinburn of Harwood House said,

“The show today has been all about quality buyers coming through the door. We have seen a wide range of buyers who are particularly interested in placing business in this area and it’s particularly good to see the financial sector so well represented”.

These sentiments were echoed by Hannah Fielding of Alea Casino who filled her diary with 6 weeks’ worth of appointments at the show and who actually co-ordinated 20 showarounds of the casino which is adjacent to Savile’s Hall on the day!

Visitors to the show were impressed by the range of services and venues on offer. Visitor Natalie Bell, Events Co-ordinator with Cynergy said:

“This show is definitely one for an event organiser’s calendar”.

Rachel Dick, Internal Events Manager for M & G Investments added:

“I have only ever used a couple of venues in this area, but having visited the show I now know there are so many more unique and unusual venues I could use that I wasn’t aware of before.”

Organiser Emma Cartmell was ecstatic at the level of support from exhibitors who were putting their trust in her to ensure that only high quality buyers were attending the show:

“I believe we had a good mix of venue and supplier that met the needs of visitors and this certainly contributed to the success of the show” says Emma, of Event Management 360, the company who took over responsibility for the event from the Royal Armouries in November 2009. She added “I couldn’t have done it without the support of Conference Leeds, who planned a 2 day familiarisation trip for Executive PA’s to coincide with the show, adding 50 carefully selected VIP buyers to the visitor numbers.”

Nicky Lockwood, Head of Conference Leeds, was happy to get involved:

“Emma and her team proved to be effective and efficient. The new format of the show encouraged visitors that were genuine buyers who were interested in placing business. There was a great atmosphere and buzz to the show this year and it really raised the profile of Leeds and West Yorkshire”.
