WHY EXHIBIT

Now with over 40 years of experience, Confex has worked to create the UK’s largest annual gathering of corporates, agencies, charities, and exhibitions. Our 2-day conference programme and rich floorplan attract top-level organisers and industry stakeholders alongside a vast array of leading corporate companies.

WHATEXHIBITINGCANDOFORYOU

Boosting your brand's profile in the events industry and establishing connections with potential clients is made easier with the platform awarded to International Confex exhibitors. When becoming part of Confex you will:

Generate Business Leads

Pre-show networking allows you to book 1:1 meetings with attendees ahead of the show. From surveys, we know that sourcing new suppliers is the main reason people attend!

Nurture relationships

It’s likely existing clients and partners will attend Confex so be there to treat them to a coffee in the networking bar and further your relationship and not your competitor’s!

Benefit from the high footfall of event planners

Confex 2023 saw 4600+ unique attendees but the co-location with 3 other events will allow you to connect with new event organisers from other sectors of the industry.

Each exhibitor package is tailor-made with your services in mind to ensure you are fully equipped to meet your ideal demographics on 28-29th February 2024. Confex will always be the central industry event for connecting suppliers and venues, face-to-face, with an audience of thousands.

Working with Mash Media and the team for International Confex has been a pleasure. The communication before the event, during and after has been superb. Our working relationship is five star and we were impressed with the amount of planning applied pre-event and the approachability and friendliness of the entire team. We would recommend attending to all spheres of the industry and are proud to be part of the virtual team promoting the delegate, speaker and exhibition experience, as they go from strength to strength.

Confex is the go-to place to meet new suppliers, say hello to friendly faces, and network with peers. This was my first year and I took away so many new ideas, new connections, and a renewed vigour for working in our fabulous industry.

Hats off and many thanks to the UK event industry’s premier exhibition International Confex 2023 which was an utterly brilliant show! A perfectly sized and very well-placed stand allowed us to display some 40 awardwinning photos from EPA 2022, to a stream of visitors over the two days. From photographers, organisers, suppliers and associations to industry leading event professionals and everyone in between!

- Event Photography Awards

We enjoyed every moment and appreciated the opportunity to connect with both familiar and new faces. Our team loved chatting with everyone and sharing information about our tech.

-Noonah Event Technology

Each year, International Confex provides us with the ideal opportunity for the continuation of developing relationships with key individuals who are both active and influential within the events industry family - a great place to meet and share our own stories.
