New business generation

The extensive International Confex 2010 marketing campaign covers the entire event organising marketplace. Through advertising, ticket inserts, direct mail and electronic marketing, it targets hundreds of thousands of event organisers. As an exhibitor you will be exposed to actively interested buyers, before, during and after the show. Exhibiting at Confex enables you to meet more professionals at one time than anywhere else in Europe and gives you access to new customers.

Buyers come to you

As the largest, most comprehensive event of its kind, Confex is the place buyers come to compare, contrast, source and select new venues and services. The decision-makers and influencers who are your customers take time out of their busy schedules to come to see you. Face-to-face contact is one of the most effective sales techniques and at Confex you can meet more customers than at any other event. This makes Confex both cost effective and time efficient, resulting in one of the highest returns on marketing investment.

Customer retention

Meeting your existing customers is an essential part of retaining and developing business. At Confex you can benefit from a networking environment in which you can consolidate and develop existing business relationships, as well as gain new business leads and build your brand. If your competitors are at the show you need to be too, so that you can remind your existing customers why they buy from you.
