Manchester calling

The final countdown is on to the Marketing Showcase, which arrives in Manchester in just four days’ time. Bringing together leaders in their field across the full spectrum of B2B marketing, the showcase has already hosted six events at key cities across the UK as it makes its way across the country.

Manchester is the seventh city to host the Marketing Showcase, following in the footsteps of editions at Sheffield, London, Newcastle, Birmingham, Nottingham and Southampton. As a northern-based supplier with a global reach, Smart Display is proud to be representing exhibition services at the event, and the team will be out in force at the city’s Old Trafford stadium this Tuesday between 10am and 2pm.

“The convenience of our regional events attracts busy business leaders who probably wouldn’t travel to a national event,” says Charlotte Strachan, executive assistant at the event’s organiser Framework Media. “We carefully consider our 2024 venues, selecting cities based on their geographical location, transport links, venue quality and of course, the volume of marketing professionals.”

The Marketing Showcase is committed to its business model of hosting single-day events within a condensed four-hour time frame, offering professionals the chance to make serious business enquiries with maximized efficiency and minimal time out of the office.

“The Marketing Showcase events are extremely efficient in that they offer a convenient regional location and a highly-curated line-up of industry professionals,” says Smart Display’s marketing executive Christina Chambers. “Marketing professionals can take a few hours out of their day and know that they are going to meet the best in all aspects of B2B marketing suppliers from branded merchandise to social media experts. All of the research has been done for them, and we are proud to be representing the exhibition services aspect of trade marketing. We are the industry’s trusted partner for all aspects of exhibiting at trade shows, and take care of everything from inspiring stand design to breakdown on the last day. We are looking forward to connecting with both end-users and full-service agencies who want to make the most of their exhibition presence at trade shows both in the UK and overseas.”
