Euro Bus Expo 2024 today announces the upcoming launch of Euro Bus Expo Connect, a new platform designed to enhance networking and maximise business opportunities for those planning to attend. This innovative tool will be available to registered visitors, allowing them to connect before, during, and after the event, which takes place at the NEC Birmingham from 12-14 November 2024.
Transforming visitor and exhibitor engagement
For the first time, visitors will have access to a platform that simplifies the process of finding and connecting with relevant exhibitors. With over 180 exhibitors, including 21 vehicle dealers, manufacturers, and converters, Euro Bus Expo will showcase products spanning the entire supply chain, from cutting-edge vehicles and technology to essential components and systems. By using Euro Bus Expo Connect, visitors can find what they need with ease and secure meetings before arriving at the event.
Euro Bus Expo Connect allows registered visitors to:
- Search for exhibitors and products tailored to their needs
- Schedule meetings directly with exhibitors either at their stand or in the dedicated Connect Lounge
- Create a personal itinerary with seminars and meetings, supported by helpful SMS and email reminders.
A dedicated support team will be available to assist with meeting planning and making the most of the platform’s features, ensuring that attendees can maximise their networking opportunities and business engagements.
“The platform makes planning your visit seamless,” says Helen Conway, Event Director for Euro Bus Expo. “Visitors can now make sure they connect with the right exhibitors, discover new products, and ensure they make the most of their time at the show. This service transforms the way people experience Euro Bus Expo.”
A game-changer for exhibitors
Exhibitors can also benefit from Euro Bus Expo Connect. They can create a detailed profile, showcase their products and services in an online marketplace, and connect with potential leads before the show begins, gaining a competitive edge.
The platform enables exhibitors to:
- Identify relevant visitors and schedule meetings in advance, guaranteeing that key contacts are not missed
- Prepare for meetings by gathering insights on what attendees are seeking
- Manage meetings efficiently with personal scheduling tools and reminders.
“Euro Bus Expo Connect allows exhibitors to generate leads and schedule meaningful meetings before the show starts,” adds Helen. “This is a game-changer for exhibitor and visitor interactions.”
The Connect Lounge
A new addition for 2024, the Connect Lounge offers a quieter space for focused discussions away from the busy show floor. Meetings can be booked here or at exhibitor stands, providing flexibility for attendees and a quieter, more focused environment for business discussions.
How to access Euro Bus Expo Connect
Registered operators, local authorities, community transport organisations, exhibitors, speakers, and press will receive personalised access links. Visitors who have not yet registered will be granted access upon registration. Those who have not yet registered or booked a stand are encouraged to do so as soon as possible to make the best use of the platform from day one.
