Made in Group are at the forefront of a groundbreaking moment for the sector; we are hosting the UK industry's first virtual exhibition.
Expos and manufacturing have had a longstanding relationship which the current reality of social distancing has threatened to halt, however, Made in Group have responded to this problem by offering members a state-of-the-art socially distanced alternative: Backing Britain Live 2020.
Backing Britain Live 2020 will be an immersive experience between the physical and virtual and will be launched on August 17. There will be over 30 events during this 2 week Live Digital Business Festival, in which the group is aiming for over 5,000 delegates.
One of the biggest and potentially most overlooked benefits for exhibitors and attendees alike taking part in this virtual event is that the endless content opportunities it provides. Potential clients, customers and business associates alike will surely be interested in a business who is at the forefront of technological innovation and taking part in such a groundbreaking event. Alongside this, at a time when so much business has grinded to a halt, it gives firms who are still active in business operations and supporting UK industry an opportunity to foreground and celebrate this.
Some of the key ways in which businesses who are involved in Backing Britain Live 2020 can promote and celebrate their involvement via fresh content opportunities include:
Publish a Press Release Promoting Your Involvement
Publishing a press release is a vital way of promoting your involvement and ultimately maximising the amount of people you are likely to connect with at Made in Group's virtual exhibition. It also provides a fantastic opportunity for content to post on your company website and/or microsite.
