Unlike any other exhibition, we limit the number of products and services we deliver at Raising The Bar to 35. We actively research the market to ensure we only have exceptional products and services to showcase to our delegates at the event.

In order to ensure the quality of our showcase remains really high we only exhibit one solution in each product or service category. For example we only showcase one sales training organisation. We only showcase one CRM solution and we always aim to showcase the best and most effective solution in each category.

Due to the fact that our showcase is so important to us, we evaluate all of our exhibitors prior to the event. If you make the grade we will give you the ability to speak to over 700 business leaders in one day and we will not charge you the earth to do so.

Features
Our exhibition package is all inclusive. Our exhibition spaces are sold with no frills and fancies as we want to keep the cost as low as possible for you. We know you are more than likely to have most of your own fittings and furniture so do not include any of these in our standard package. We will simply give you the space, some exhibitor training and lots of interested delegates and will let you do the rest.

Event Guide
We will give a show programme to all of our delegates. We will want to feature you in the program and promote your attendance at the event. You will be asked to provide details of your company to included in the event program.

Training
We offer all of our exhibitors a complimentary training session 4 weeks in advance of the event. We want you to be fully aware of the possible opportunities at the event and we want to maximise your ROI on the day. For this reason we advise that all exhibitors attend the training session - date to be advised.

Location
Exhibiting at Raising The Bar means guaranteed interest! We locate our exhibition stands in and around the main networking area. You will be in contact with delegates throughout the day. However you need to be aware that this will often happen in waves as delegates will also be involved in workshops.

Exclusivity
We aim, wherever possible to showcase only one product or service within each business category. We are keen to showcase the UK's best provider of each solution rather than a number of competing solutions.
