Hosting a demo

Captivate your audience

The National Oceanography Centre, Southampton boasts excellent facilities that benefit Ocean Business exhibitors when they sign up for a training and demonstration session at the show.

You might like to host a session on one of the many vessels (or bring your own!) and welcome clients old and new aboard. Your captivated audience will sail out to sea with you whilst you network and demonstrate your equipment that essentially could turn into major sales!

Alternatively, make a splash in the dockside waters where visitors can stand in a purpose built structure on the dock wall and watch your equipment at work in the sea. Or host a session in the onsite test tank or in one of the many classrooms available to exhibitors. With so many options, the only problem is choosing which facility to best demonstrate your equipment!!

Don’t take our word for it

Exhibitors from the 2007 and 2009 shows know how important the training and demonstration side of the show was to them. Not only were the sessions full to bursting last time, but they got to meet face to face with the end users and take actual orders adding even more value to their participation.

• Training sessions and demos are also an excellent way to interact with visitors and clients.

• The training and demonstration programme is a very good aspect of this show. The waterside is easily accessible to vessels and exhibitors.

• Great combination of venue, demos and stands which give a visual result.
