Throughout 2020, IndustryExpo Virtual Exhibition was instrumental in helping its exhibitors keep in personal contact with customers and reach out to potential new leads. With 360,000 visitors to date (and counting) and over 10,000m2 of virtual floorspace to explore, including exhibition stands, networking lounge and an auditorium, IndustryExpo is the leading virtual trade show for industry, automation, processing and manufacturing.

The show, which is live year-round, has daily footfall in the thousands and offers visitors the opportunity to chat directly with exhibitors or register their interest for one-to-one meetings. Recent visitors include representatives from companies including Princes Foods, Severn Trent Water, Jaguar Land Rover, Nestle, Pernod-Ricard, Honda, Allied Bakeries, Thames Water, Arla Foods, Anglian Water, Dover Port, Halo Foods, Pirelli, PepsiCo, Toyota, Merlin Entertainment, Veolia, Tata Steel.

With such a pedigree of visitor it’s no surprise that the concept has been popular with businesses of all sizes.

Show Directors, Nigel Borrell and Sara Gordon, comment: “Even before travel restrictions came into place the traffic to the website was phenomenal, with visitors coming from all over the world. Since March last year the popularity of the site has grown exponentially and now visitors and exhibitors alike are extolling the benefits of the virtual format. IndustryExpo has been used for product launches, white paper releases, live seminars and recruitment; with new innovations and functionality being added almost every month.”

The top priority of the exhibition is to introduce a user-friendly interface that allows visitors to experience all the benefits of a ‘real’ event, with fewer of the drawbacks. Each stand can feature Super-HD 3D products, offer downloadable pdf literature, host company videos or live presentations and even support one-to-one video meetings with a sales representative.  Visitors won’t have to face rush hour traffic or parking fees to attend. In fact, visitors can register to the platform and save their favourite stands or materials to their browser to make return visits even more efficient.
