Based on 500 exhibitors we would expect between 5000 to 10000 visitors. But once we reach our target of bringing 1500 exhibitors, the number of expected visitors would be anywhere between 15000 to 30000. In our July 2021 show, we planned to get 200+ exhibitors and anticipated around 2000 - 4000 visitors. Based on the number of exhibitors ( 464 exhibitors ) our expectation was to have 4640 visitors. But as per google analytics on day one, we had 2661 visitors, On Day 2 we had 1981 visitors and on Day 3 we had 1437 visitors making total footfalls of 6078 visitors.

In this event we would be happy to see a total of 5000 visitors but as per our experience last time, we are preparing for a total footfall of approximately 30000+ participants in this event.

Our virtual trade shows and exhibitions are events designed to bring together members from a wide range of business sectors to promote their services. Join us to raise your profile, find potential customers and engage with like-minded business leaders.

There are multiple opportunities for you to showcase your business and services to increase your visibility to a wide audience at a budget that works for you.

In addition to having your own stand, you can attend virtual networking sessions, interact with the B2B Growth Hub team, be a keynote speaker, advertise and even sponsor an area.

The virtual show works much the same as a ‘real’ event. There is a reception desk, where you can register for keynote talks, you can see a list of exhibitors and ‘wander’ around at your pace.
If you purchase a stand, you can interact with potential clients, arrange meetings, show company videos, present product demonstrations and at the same time, guests can collect your company literature and store it in their virtual briefcase.

The great thing about virtual exhibitions is that they are far more cost-effective and can reach larger audiences.

B2B Growth Hub is created by business for businesses. Stakeholders both internally and externally actual- ly come together to form new ways to help our local communities. We didn’t even have to ask a few, most wanted to come together to help in anyway they can.

Partnerships were built during COVID due to us volunteering with other businesses . These interactions allowed us to meet local businesses that we may have never connected with as we are still relatively new. Due to our business being built for businesses and specialising in networking, we managed to create a community that developed into so much more during COVID. This community we created became a lifeline for local businesses and like minded people. Through their connection to us, those small businesses forge everlasting business relationships. B2B Growth Hub has not only offered networking services during this time but also a chance for social interaction and support. This helped save businesses money, when every pound had to count. It also gave a chance for businesses create plans to survive and function after COVID and also allow them to build further partnerships . The outcome of our work during this period has been vast.

We fulfilled the demand for jobs during COVID, we heard firsthand how business owners were left in a vulnerable position and a lot of the time they felt isolated during the pandemic. We advertised and promoted their business for free. The demand for support was large so was the need for a plan! Our networking events allowed them to think post COVID, and the new normal, how to pivot their business to improve revenue. Many businesses were close to closure, but thanks to our support, they’ve been able to get through the worst of it.

Personal challenges include the financial burden causing emotional stress, tying personal value to your company’s value, the perfection paradox, where we had to be quick on our feet. Reactive is the best way to describe it, we didn’t have time for the perfect plan, and we simply dived in and took few risks. By taking action and letting go of our need to always be perfect, we had the chance to swing for the fences.

Overworking ourselves was another big challenge to control. We worked exceptionally long hours, which led to burnout. Constantly on the run, we end up over- or under-eating, which can have negative consequences on your personal health and performance. We did not have the time to sleep or exercise as often or as long as we’d like. To overcome these challenges, we started exercising each day and schedule time to get a good nights sleep. In the excitement of starting a new venture, we ignored the feeling that the person we are about to pick does not have the managerial competence for the next step, and thus some new recruits lacked execution skills or had weaker strategic thinking.
Internally we were faced by challenges around money and resources, the company culture and getting right employees and work force in place in the given timeframe so that business is not impacted. Our internal culture consists of the values, attitudes, and priorities that our employees

should live by. The biggest challenge was to make new recruits understand the cultures and values behind the business.
Lack of business income affects the number of people we can hire, the quality of our offers, and the amount of advertising we can buy. To overcome these challenges, we heavily invested into this business before turning a revenue, with the idea to grow and expand the business. We tried to be on foot and engage with as many potential customers as we can in short span of time. We stuck to our company values and ethos whilst doing so, creating value for our customers. Most importantly, we put people before profit and raise a positive brand awareness to make a real difference in the business community.
The biggest external factors were the suppliers and the government policy which had a huge impact on our costs. With limited availability of venue and event suppliers, we couldn’t buy anywhere, and our negotiating room was limited. The effect of COVID-19 on the economy and event driven business was also one of the biggest external challenges we faced. We managed to handle this by changing our approach from physical events to virtual events and conduct monthly meetings over zoom and address customer needs via video conference.

Finding the right partner and building relationships with local businesses was another challenge, but we are always open to new ideas and new points of view with an ability to connect with partners and customers in our markets. We took a careful considered approach to new ideas, implementing those that fit with our customers business goals and discarding those that don’t address this challenge.

To name a few things: supporting individuals, local businesses, free social interaction, business planning for surviving COVID and going forward.
We saved money for businesses due to connections made in networking or from free services we offered. It helped businesses keep locals employed and their livelihoods intact.

Here are ten testimonials that we’re happy to share with you:

“I have no hesitation in endorsing B2B Growth Hub for the work they do for small business on the Isle of Man. Santosh, and his team, are tireless in their endeavours to give assistance to local entrepreneurs wishing to build businesses, often start-ups

The regular breakfasts, bringing together the heads/owners of many of the Island's ventures that are likely to be responsible for the Island's future growth, are held in high esteem, as is the individual coaching supplied by Santosh at these events. This is only one of the innovative ways that support is forthcoming.
B2B Growth Hub is an asset to the Isle of Man that should be treasured.”
Dougie Elliott FCIB, Chartered MCSI


“We were excited by the announcement that there would be a new event to recognise accounting professionals and businesses so were very keen to be involved from the outset. It was then great news to be contacted by the team at Manx Accountancy Awards to inform us we had been nominated by a number of clients for the Start up practice of the year category.
The awards evening was fantastic and very well organised by Santosh and his team, all of our team and guests had a great evening. We were honoured to also collect the award for Start up practice of the year and would fully support the event next year!”
Lee Astin BA FCCA, Managing Director


“It was a pleasure to attend to Manx Accountancy Awards 2020. The organisers did an incredible job in moving the venue from the Comis to Laxey Glen Gardens in less than 24 hours: one could be forgiven to think the event and venue had been organised for months at the new venue. It was a great evening: fantastic food and well organised. Good to see so many people in attendance and a pleasure to see some of my colleagues attending the event also. Congratulations to my colleague Adam Clucas for being shortlisted as a finalist for Accountant of the year, facing stiff competition from 20 or so other finalists.
From my own perspective, it was an honour to receive tax adviser of the year!
I hope this event becomes part of the calendar for the future: let’s see many other firms embrace it as an evening to recognise of the achievements of accountants and tax advisers on the Isle of Man.”
Paul Hotchkiss, Managing Director (Hotchkiss Associates)

“Really loved these consistently organised networking events every month . Appreciate the efforts made by B2B Growth Hub team on a regular basis and keep us all engaged locally. Happy to meet such a large variety of local businesses on a regular basis. Highly recommend. Thank you”
Visualytes, Nagz

All departments have daily morning meetings via Zoom. If any department requires assistance the other departments will jump in to give a hand. Every department also makes use of additional technology such as WhatsApp, Skype etc.

A good example of working across departments is our monthly networking events, which we currently run about five per month. A couple of days before each event we phone all existing clients to invite and remind them of the event - which can be up to one thousand calls. Each department jumps in to split up the calls to reduce the workload.

We are all team players and for that we are all recognised and rewarded equally.

B2B Growth Hub has only been running for a couple of years. The team has had to learn their roles as the company evolved. This has consisted of building a huge database driven website, allowing clients to produce their own mini website within the site.

Many of the team had little or no contacts, so a big LinkedIn campaign was made, and is still running in order to grow our contacts.

During the pandemic we have had to restructure the way we do business, moving our networking events online, which now take place over Zoom. We have also created our own mini version of Zoom for internal use. This also includes our local trade shows which can no longer take place, we instead created a virtual trade show which will be launched early this year.

Our customers are very well informed about our team members and are in regular contact with them, before, during and after networking meetings. We have been able to connect multiple businesses with each other to enable them to grow and create leads. Last year alone, B2B Growth Hub expanded into new regions across the UK, thus growing the team. As the team expanded, the knowledge sharing between the team members became greater.

Due to our business being all about businesses our whole structure is based on collaborations. This makes the whole ethos of B2B Growth Hub virtually unique in its approach to business. Internally we create a strong team, then we do the same to help other businesses and our clients.

B2B Growth Hub provides a platform for business to showcase and network with other like minded business owners.

We began by hosting face-to-face speed networking events in hotels, but due to the pandemic we have moved our operation online with monthly virtual events, free of charge.
Our events create a great way to gain exposure and recommendations from the local community. Businesses are able to promote their products in multiple ways - like through our virtual online networking events, trade shows, magazine publication, sponsorships, conferences, vouchers, award nights and much more.

Our objective and values are clear and straightforward! They’re to help entrepreneurs produce more leads, transformations, exchanges, customers and close on deals that help them grow. As our clients grow, we grow with them, as we make larger connections.

B2B Growth Hub have all the right components to make sure the business continues to be fruitful with many points of contact, networking events, support and guidance to make members more successful in their journey with us.

B2B Growth Hub was created from the ills myself and many partners had with the struggle of connecting with other business. Nowadays, businesses are so pitted against one another as competitors and we wanted to change that outlook entirely! We wanted owners to see the benefit of supporting one another and forging business relationships.

We have created a community within the local community that supports each other, helps them save money by providing special offers, provides them with social interaction and much more. Especially now, with COVID, these relationships go much further, and I believe they’ll be here to stay. To keep being sustainable, we monitor our environment and are always ready to adapt with what comes next. Staying ahead of the curve to ensure us and our members will be successful and persevere.

B2B Growth Hub helps businesses to grow through the use of multiple tactical tools, 80% of which are free for its customers. These tools include speed networking, trade shows, award nights, The Buzz Magazine, conferences, speaking engagements, local deals, media promotions and PR & loyalty programs.

There are currently over 360,000 businesses registered with B2B Growth Hub all of whom can utilisse these services to achieve more connections, more savings, more transactions, more leads, more profits, more sales, more conversions, more customers and hence, more growth. We created this community that is growing daily and instead of seeing businesses as competition, B2B Growth Hub wanted businesses to come together to collaborate. This innovative idea proved to be successful where like minded people join our free networking events to share their business ideas and create new leads. Even when the pandemic hit, we already had a contingency plan in place and took everything virtually. This has allowed businesses to still be part of the conversation and community, without having to spend more money.

B2B Growth Hub’s vision is to become an expert business services provider globally and hold the best business advisory position. To offer a one stop solution for business growth and needs of the local businesses by working with the businesses, for the businesses and by the businesses.

No other platform or membership scheme provides as much support and as many services to their members – for free! When Covid-19 hit, B2B Growth Hub had to devise a way to ensure that all these support services remained in place as they are more important than ever before. As such, all the monthly networking meetings moved online. The website was developed with members in mind so that they could easily schedule appointments utilising the bespoke, internal webinar feature.

The latest development is a virtual conference/exhibition tool. This development will enable members to showcase their businesses to larger audiences.

All these actions have enabled B2B Growth Hub to grow and help customers to expand their businesses in

spite of the pandemic. Moving activities online have actually enabled people to connect further afield than they would have previously been able to. From the initial launch on the Isle of Man in December 2018, B2B Growth Hub now covers regions including Southampton, Bournemouth, Isle of Wight and Jersey – most of which have been developed since March 2020. As a result of the online platforms, B2B Growth Hub is looking to expand by an additional five regions per month throughout 2021

In addition to the new regions that developed last year, the number of monthly online networking meetings increased from 2 to 6, reaching and supporting far more businesses than before. Our customers have increased and the number of customers and regions they are now connected to has expanded. All of which has improved our sales and profits.

Not only are all the innovations completely sustainable, but they are growing to offer far more functionally and benefits to all the members compared to anywhere on the market. This growth has also allowed us the grow our task force, so each region has a business manager . Ensuring we are fully functional virtually has allowed us more stability than most businesses, for example, our workforce can work from home so we therefore have less overheads. Being innovative and thinking outside the box is what inspired this organisation in the first place. We’re growing fast because we adapt and have plans in place, whilst monitoring the situation. Research and development is ongoing to improve our services and evolve them.

We hold regular online team and group meetings to allow everyone to have input into the way the company moves forward, we’re nothing without our brilliant team. B2B Growth Hub employs independent thinkers who are encouraged to carve out their own path in the company whilst utilising each persons skills to there maximum. By allowing this, we’re able to create an environment our staff enjoy and want to represent B2B Growth Hub because they help develop its creation.

We immediately identified the issues that would arise from not being able to organise larger events during lockdown - we quickly had to find a solution to remedy this. But it wasn’t only our clients that felt hardship, it was also our staff. At B2B Growth Hub, we ensured our teams remained engaged, healthy, effective and productive in their new working environment, despite having to manage everything and everyone remotely. We had to empower our team, give them hope and appreciation, which fortunately helped us grow even more, with locations in the Isle of Man many dotted around the UK. With so much doubt, we developed a customer-centric mission and consistently reinforced that vision of leadership, ensuring that everyone at B2B Growth Hub is on the same page! By doing so, our team was able to provide better customer experience.

Definitely improved productivity and sales. With our sophisticated systems at B2B Growth Hub, we were able to manage our customer experiences which helped us understand them. During COVID we quickly adapted to our customers having a completely different mindset. Our customer service staff were able to reassure our customers, making them more open to new ideas, suggestions, products and even services which has helped us grow, not only as a company, but as a team.

This was a time for deep listening. At B2B Growth Hub, we reminded our teams to really hear what our customers concerns are and show them that we’re really there for them. How sustainable is our customer service you ask? It’s our team - as long as we maintain our spirits, keep conversations open, our team will be able to overcome anything, becoming stronger, working together.

Due to the devastating news of the pandemic, the incoming lockdown, potential loss of business revenue, and their actual businesses, we at B2B Growth Hub had to do something to help our local community. Having had to cancel every single event we had ourselves, we thought, why not bring these events to everyone from the comforts of their homes? And that is exactly what we did. We moved everything online, and adapted on the fly, finding creative ways to change our operating models. At first it was difficult, but thanks to our brilliant team, we managed to secure a huge amount of interest, especially with many local businesses here, on the Isle of Man, and in the UK! Our platform connects businesses with other like-minded people, so through our virtual networking events, our members were able to gain more leads which has helped them create a revenue in these dire times.

We work with business stakeholders to understand and help with their inspirational growth plan and enable them to achieve their objectives. We set out with a very simple idea, that ‘we’re all in this together’, and that, even from our inception, at B2B Growth Hub , we believe businesses should be working together instead of pitting against one another.

Within the organisation, we have expanded the team across additional regions throughout the UK thanks to the idea of virtual events. We’ve been able to keep overheads to a minimum, thus maximising our revenue. The number of registered customers has also increased exponentially, as many sought knowledge and help from other businesses during these hard times - with most of them being retained and attend our future networking events.

Internally we encourage employees to create their own job role with full support and training. This allows them to create an environment that they enjoy and and play to their strengths - we see them as partners, they’re motivated and proud of the business we create. Feedback gives us an insight to how incredibly well this approach has worked.

Growth is another outcome, we’ve grown quite rapidly due to demand. During COVID our repu- tation proceeded us thanks to our help in the community and wider reach.

When it comes to exhibitions and events, there isn’t one type of stand that is best for everyone. All organisations are individual; the best exhibition stands are those that help people achieve their goals and meet their objectives as well as possible with the budget available. It’s important to have a clear idea of your objective before a show or event and work with a design team who can deliver a solution to achieve this. At Expo our experienced team knows what works when it comes to designing exhibition stands that get results. For this reason, the first stage in any project we undertake is getting to know our client’s business and understanding their goals.

The hotspots are the area on your exhibition stand where your product information sits. Presented as a popup on your stand, it contains all of the information and downloads that you’ve added for a specific product or service. We recommend that you populate your hotspots with a wealth of multi-media materials include pdfs, videos, images and descriptive text – helping to maximise the quality of information your visitors receive and improving your SEO. Where required it’s possible to buy ‘Sub-Spots’ as add-ons to your show. This allows you link to hotspots within a hotspot, meaning that a complete product family can be presented together with easy navigation. The hotspot is key to generating sales leads from your stand. In addition to the product information, each hotspot can be shared via social media and visitors can choose to contact you via email or the platform messenger tool.

The hotspot content editor remains live throughout your attendance at the show, meaning you can change the products on your stand whenever you want. This is a great way of keeping the stand fresh and generating fresh sales leads.

At Certain Exhibitions we believe in offering our client’s a complete turnkey service from conception to completion. This means that you won’t get tied up with method statement’s or risk assessments and the like – we take care of design, manufacture, install and derig and all onsite orders such as electrical, rigging and carpets etc. We also have full dialogue with organisers and venue floor managers ensuring a smooth process.

Yes we can supply all AV equipment so you can be sure of good quality that will enhance the promotion of your stand.

We use a wide range of materials from MDF, various metals and acrylics. All materials meet current FR(fire retardant) regulations and are venue/Organiser approved.

Shell scheme exhibitions

The shell scheme structure allows exhibitors to display posters, foamex graphics panels, lightweight framed pictures, perspex leaflet holders and lightweight merchandise using velcro dots or tape on the nylon loop covered wall panels. Additional premium furniture and audio visual packages will be available to order when subscription bookings open. Please contact your Event Sales Account Manager or email exhibitions@digitalageexpo.com for more info.

Open Space exhibitions

You will be supplied with a table and 2 chairs as standard. However if you have your own furniture or podium then the table and/or chairs can be removed. You are welcome to bring free standing banners but you must not go outside your allocated space.

In accordance with the Exhibitor code of conduct, all stand setup and breakdown activities should be performed outside of exhibition opening and closing times. You can find the build and breakdown timings on individual event pages.

Yes. Our purpose built stands, are custom made and designed to have be built and constructed on site by one of our experienced team. The advantage is that you can turn up at the show, knowing it’s all taken care of. We’ll also take the stand down and pack everything away safely when the show ends.

There’s a lot involved when it comes to designing an exhibition stand and if you’re not careful, it can be easy to lose track of your initial aims. Here at Expo we aim to make the whole process of designing and building your exhibition stand as straightforward as possible. We do this by following four steps that enable us deliver a fantastic stand, on time, that meets your individual needs and budget. The first stage of designing a successful exhibition stand is for the stand designers to learn about your organisation, your products and services and what you want to achieve by exhibiting. Our experienced team know just what to ask to understand exactly which direction to take. In stage two our team will look at the budget and all the practical requirements of your stand, from storage to lighting and power connections. These are the foundations around which your stand will be built. Once we have a complete understanding of your needs and the practical elements have been confirmed, we start work on the third stage in the process; design of the stand. Our experienced creative team knows what works and what doesn’t, and design fantastic looking stands that enable our clients to achieve their goals. When you’re completely happy with the design of your stand, the fourth and final stage sees everything come to life as the stand is built. With all our custom stands, your dedicated Expo project manager and experienced build installation team will take care of everything and have your stand ready to go at the venue by a guaranteed time.

We always love to make our customers lives as easy as possible, so if your exhibition stand is going to be used regularly, we can make it totally reusable to suit your needs. Generally speaking, re-using your exhibition stand will limit how large or complex it can be, depending on your transportation options. But if you want an exhibition stand that you can dismantle and put in the back of your van or boot of your car and head on to your next show, we can definitely help.

Absolutely. Utilising media including video is a great way to attract attention. If you need video to play on one large monitor, or multiple monitors, or you want to have interactive areas for customers to engage with your products via computer/console/touch-screen, it’s not a problem. If you’re unsure about exactly what you need in regards to multimedia, we can talk you through all the options available and suggest what would work best for you. One of the latest trends is giant LED backwalls of your content.

Just like any exhibition, visitors to the show are able to fill a Virtual Goodie Bag with their favourite materials. Upon browsing your stand, a site visitor can choose to add product literature, videos or even entire hotspots to their Goodie Bags – this way they can always re-visit their favourite areas of the show. Of course, you can always entice visitors onto a stand with a free giveaway. Promotional mugs, pens, USB sticks and more can be added to the Virtual Goodie Bag then sent to the visitor in real life. If you’d like to add this facility to your stand, please contact our sales team.

Exhibitions can be a valuable way to meet lots of valuable prospects in one place, and in a short space of time. Providing you choose the right show and plan carefully, you could lay the foundations for profitable growth in contacts and sales.

Apart from making contacts there are other valuable benefits to attending trade shows:

It raises your profile and improves your reputation to be seen at major venues like the NEC or Olympia.
Shows are a good place to get instant feedback on new products.
Your team can help staff the stand, giving them a chance to meet customers face-to-face as well as check out your competition.
You may have the opportunity to meet overseas buyers and to look for agents here and abroad.

Exhibitions and trade shows continue to be one of the most effective ways of promoting your latest product and communicating your brand message to a targeted audience.

A virtual exhibition works in much the same way. You can promote your business and services to targeted groups of visitors who are known buyers and influencers in your industry.

The advantage is that, unlike a real exhibition, our doors at virtual exhibition never close. With year-round attendance you are able to generate sales leads from your virtual stand for longer and achieve a far higher ROI.

A highly visual and intuitive browsing platform allows visitors to view your exhibition stand and access information about the products you choose to promote.

Just like a real exhibition: the more you put in, the more you get out. We can help you to promote your attendance to your existing contact database and further afield.

We have simplified our rate cards. This demonstrates more clearly the differences in venue type and stand type.
Shell scheme exhibitions - additional furniture and graphics. A full list of optional furniture, lighting, and graphic items will be made available when subscription booking opens.

There are a number of new opportunities to connect with customers and advisers before, during and after the exhibitions. These will help enhance your event experience and ensure continued engagement with these audiences.

Yes, you will need to book your stand space with event organisers. We can help you with everything else from stand design to electrics and furniture.

Our exhibitions are grouped into two categories; shell scheme and OpenSpace. The events vary by size, location, and type of the venue, and the number of people attending. All exhibitions are held in association with B2B Growth Hub.

Shell scheme

Shell scheme exhibitions are organized and funded entirely by community Members. These are mostly held in large commercial exhibition venues, and typically located in highly populated areas. These exhibitions typically receive between 2,500 - 16,000 visitors and up to 250 exhibitors.

OpenSpace

OpenSpace exhibitions are organized by our Partners in association with B2B Growth Hub. Venues are varied, ranging from university campuses, marquees, to small commercial venues. These exhibitions receive between 300 - 12,000 visitors and up to 180 exhibitors.

Traffic is the most important factor when it comes to choosing a spot. While you want your stand to be in a position where plenty of people will see you, they also need to be able to stop and look properly.

You can attract attention by providing good visual interest on the stand - such as well-designed graphics or digital displays. Never assume passers-by know who you are or what you do - spell it out clearly with words and pictures.

It is possible to design a stand yourself using simple components, but be careful not to look too cheap. Modular stands are generally the most affordable option; for a tailor-made stand, use a specialist exhibition stand designer.

Many exhibitions provide technology to help you capture visitor details. This could include barcode readers that can obtain a visitor's contact details from their name badge, or QR codes on your stand.

If your chosen exhibition does not use technology, you should, at the very least, take every visitor's business card (or name and company details), and make a record of what their query was and what action is required.

Follow-up should be done within days, preferably by phone, thanking the person for attending your stand and confirming next steps, with the aim of eventually closing a sale.
