The 2008 Exhibition - New format, more networking, more business opportunities

WaterfrontExpo comes to Liverpool in 2008 with a radical series of improvements certain to enhance the exhibitor and delegate experience – before, during and after the event.

With the official support of The Mersey Partnership, WaterfrontExpo 2008 offers an excellent opportunity for you to meet and explore commercial opportunities in the world of waterfront regeneration and development.

The theme of this year’s event is ‘Connecting people with the waterfront’. The new format of this year’s exhibition will enable you to connect effectively with your clients, to pass on your expertise, and to share current thinking and best practice on the wide range of issues associated with waterfront regeneration and development.


Host your own discussion groups and presentations

A key feature of WaterfrontExpo 2008 will be that exhibitors can host presentations or discussion groups on their own stand.

You will also be able to serve refreshments and host a full working lunch!

Each stand will feature a FREE OF CHARGE networking space complete with table and chairs. Just think of it – you can invite delegates to come along to your stand where you will then have the opportunity to facilitate discussion in an area where you have expert knowledge and where the participants have a genuine interest in your area of expertise. What better way is there to make top quality contacts?

All you have to do is invite delegates to participate in your hosted discussion group or attend your presentation. To facilitate this, each exhibitor can advertise their bespoke discussion programme on our website - www.waterfrontexpo.com - before the event, and at the event in the showguide.

What’s more, Waterfront Connect© - our online appointment system to be launched four weeks prior to the event plus easy to use handheld technology at the event – will further assist you to make sure your discussion groups are a success!
