THE BIG FOUR... REASONS TO EXHIBIT

                    

1) GENERATE LEADS & SIGNIFICANT ROI FOR YOUR COMPANY

Enjoy 1:1 meetings with our hosted buyers, all of whom are senior UK/European decision-makers responsible for organising meetings and events.

Our event platform is a buyer-led meetings system, so you can be confident that you're speaking to hosted buyers who are interested in your company and want to meet with you.

In 2026, a total of 22,000+ one-to-one appointments and presentations took place, and each exhibitor had the opportunity to meet with 1,100+ qualified buyers in attendance.

  
                    

2) GAIN EXPOSURE TO THOUSANDS OF EVENT PLANNERS

Our PR team will support you in maximising your promotional opportunities before and during the show, helping you to create a buzz about your presence and any innovations, new products, developments, packages, or offerings you'll be sharing with buyers. 

Rather than emailing or calling all of your prospects, show them what your organisation can do in-person. Deliver presentations, talks, and any onsite activations at your stand, so buyers can see for themselves what sets you apart from the rest.

                     
                    

3) BENEFIT FROM PUBLICITY AND PR                         

Reach the meetings and events industry easily, through our multi-media platforms.

As an exhibitor, you'll have the opportunity to share your press releases on our website, appear in our editorial features, monthly newsletters, and in the show previews - distributed to key industry media publications. Our team will also work with you to promote your appearance at the show across our social media accounts (+28,000 combined followers), and emails (+36,000 buyers).

Take advantage of our marketing assets and PR toolkit too, to ensure you're reaching as many people as possible.

                     
                    
                    

4) GET ONE-TO-ONE SUPPORT FROM OUR TEAM

Benefit from dedicated one-to-one support from your Account Managers, our Sales & Operations Executive, Johan Skogqvist, and our dedicated customer service team, who will be on hand to answer any questions you have about your stand, your exhibitor listing, how to use the event platform... and anything else you can think of!

Plus, you can always reach out to our Marketing and PR teams for help with promoting your appearance before and during the show.

    Motivation - Special Effects
  • “This year's show exceeded our expectations. We received a record number of appointments, as did our stand partners. We believe that not only the quantity of appointments was good, but the quality too. The staff at Northstar are so helpful, Brett and Jack in particular - nothing is ever too much trouble. The show had a real 'buzz' about it and everyone I have spoken to has said a similar thing. Well done team!”
