Confex 2011 at Earls Court was organised into three sections Location, Logistics and Something SpecialLocation
Exhibitors within Location were premier destinations and venues from the UK and around the world.
The range and breadth of destinations was tremendous.This area clearly appealed to visitors seeking a setting for various sorts of event whether a meeting or full blown corporate day out.
Logistics
Visitors were be able to browse in the 'suk' of the Logistics area to source products and services from the leading suppliers in the events industry for indoor and outdoor events. Buyers looking for stand designers, production, promotional products, audio-visual and lighting, event technology providers, flooring, graphics and furniture hire and event insurance providers benefited greatly from this section of Confex 2011- it was the ultimate one stop shop for all things 'logistics' for exhibitions/conferences.
Something Special
Something Special was home to a number of inspiring features . It was very popular for those looking for that 'something a bit little bit different'
I met up with
a number of interesting exhibitors. Firstly I stopped by to catch up with Simon Percival of Eagle's flight.Eagle’s Flight is in the development and delivery of practical training programs for the global business community.

Thanks for the post and your brief on some of the participants of Confex 2011. Training programmes, display stands and various other things assist business promotion.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great Festival, and you are fully deserved of being there with you're ambitious and talented. And..anyhow, I hope we'll have more CONS in Orlando...It's fun!
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to be able to make it to Confex this year to see the creative exhibition stands that everybody is now talking about. I attended the event in 2009 and I must say that it was one of the best networking opportunities for me, as back then I was an Events Management student.

Women & Men benefit a lot from this concept of work since they can balance their home and work perfectly. People mostly find that in this situation, their productivity is higher and stress levels lower. Those who like isolation and a tranquil work environment also tend to prefer this way of working. Today, with the kind of communication networks available, millions of people worldwide are considering this option.
Women & Men who want to be independent but cannot afford to leave their responsibilities at home aside will benefit a lot from this concept of work. It makes it easier to maintain a healthy balance between home and work. The family doesn't get neglected and you can get your work done too. You can thus effectively juggle home responsibilities with your career. Working from home is definitely a viable option but it also needs a lot of hard work and discipline.
