The UK Trade Show for E-Commerce
E Commerce Expo moves to Flagship venue E Commerce Expo is the UK s showcase for companies who offer the technologies and processes required for successful E Commerce. Acquisition Conversion Driving qualified traffic to your site Turning visitors into buyers Fulfilment Delivering what you ve promised goods, services or digital Retention Winning customer loyalty Following its sell-out first year and 75% rebooking on site, E Commerce Expo has firmly established itself as the industry trade event. To reflect its status and accommodate demand from exhibiting companies, E Commerce Expo is moving to Olympia s flagship venue the National Hall for 2008. With everything on one floor, a vastly strengthened education programme and a proven track record, visitor numbers are set to rise dramatically. A fresh new approach to education For 2008, following extensive research, the organisers have built a totally new education programme around the following principles: The programme should be high quality and independently researched. All attendees should have FREE access to all education. Exhibiting companies should be involved wherever possible. The education should compliment the exhibition in terms of themes and timings. The entire programme will be managed by an independent Conference Director around the key themes of the exhibition acquisition, conversion, fulfilment and retention. There will be Breakfast briefings, keynotes and panel discussions in addition to a busy programme of seminar presentations. Wherever possible, exhibitors will be encouraged to participate in order to maximise their return on investment. It s a brand new concept with many more opportunities for exhibiting companies to get involved both before, during and after the exhibition. Visit the website for more information. At last. Thank goodness. We've got an industry trade show! Brian Flower Encodex 28 & 29th October Olympia www.ecommerceexpo.co.uk 28 & 29th October Olympia www.ecommerceex
The show has a really good buzz and a good amount of visitors. We have probably got 50 or so leads so far to follow up on so we're very pleased.
