Event UK at the NEC 16-17 September – Ideas for Event Invitations, Giveaways and Handouts

Event UK is an event for the events industry and it is coming up soon at the NEC. The exhibition incorporates the National Venue Show and provides an ideal opportunity to find event service suppliers, destinations and venues.

Visitors will be, typically, events organisers, event managers, agencies and marketing managers who will have the chance to meet 350 exhibiting companies offering many different services that combine to help to create a successful event. Exhibitors will also include caterers, entertainers, event and marketing agencies, florists and technology providers. 

 Event UK will feature an education programme that includes 20 free seminars, keynote speakers and a free advice centre as well as offering a host of networking opportunities. The occasion is a “must see” for everyone involved in exhibition and event planning. 

 We are happy to give the event a plug on our blog as one of our aims is to help our industry as well as helping ourselves. Marketing industry figures published recently, such as the Bellwether Report, suggest that corporate marketing budgets have been cut with “events” being one of the areas that has suffered. That is why we feel that it is particularly important at this time to give each other support and we will continue to plug industry events on this blog in the belief that every little helps!

 Of course, there is a self-help motive here, too, as we supply promotional marketing products for the events industry. Many of our pop-up mailers and interactive marketing products are designed as event invitations; events floor plans and directions; events calendars and timetables and others as handouts and giveaways at shows and events.

 We devote many blog pages to extolling the virtues of our products and stressing the importance of grabbing the attention of the reader in order to make a success of the product. We have pages on our website dedicated to ideas and suggestions for invitations and all other items of promotional print for events.

 It is hardly surprising that we want Event UK to be a success along with every other marketing event in the UK – just as everyone involved in the advertising and marketing industry wants to see an improvement in the economic situation.
