Why exhibit?

• meet a vast array of prospective clients face-to-face in a short space of time
• generate a volume of leads that it would take your organisation months or years to accumulate with another method
• gain a greater understanding of your potential clients’ needs, overcome any objections and build up a rapport with them
• engage customers with hands-on demonstrations and allow them to experience your products for themselves, making them far more likely to make a purchase if your products impress.

Why exhibit at SLF?

The Scottish Learning Festival exhibition is highly prestigious, being the only resources event for Scottish Education and run alongside the largest free annual conference available in Scotland. In 2010 the festival drew in over 6,200 visitors (a 12% increase on 2009) actively looking for school resources.

Your chance to generate leads will not be limited to the show itself; you can also enjoy coverage on the website from the time of booking up until the show closes. The website attracts in excess of 50,000 potential buyers who are looking to source new products, allowing you to expand your existing customer base and gain access to a wider audience.
