Explore Export
Explore Export 2010 was the third we have run for UKTrade and Investment (UKTI), increasing delegate and exhibitor numbers year on year. This one day networking and fact finding event is for companies wanting to learn more about exporting. UKTI also use the events to promote their services to potential customers. We are responsible for complete management of the event including venue, delegate management, and content. We source and manage speakers – including keynote speaker, Simon Woodroffe (Yo Sushi and Dragon’s Den) in 2008, Underwear Entrepreneur and Celebrity Apprentice, Michelle Mone in 2009 and broadcaster, Robert Peston in 2010.
We created the event branding and are responsible for marketing it via press, email, and local networks. We create an event website online registration, including the facility to pay and with separate registration for delegates, sponsors and exhibitors. We manage the 30 or so trade advisors who travel to the event from all over the world and the secure income from sponsors and paying exhibitors. On the day we manage 400 delegates and contributors through a mix of plenary sessions, an interactive market place and a choice of 16 different seminars.
