size of their stand, sponsors GES and Event Industry News picking up 40 per cent of the cost, which includes the likes of a TV screen and laptop shelf, a screen graphic displaying their logo, access to a dedicated exhibitor WiFi net- work, and its location.
Adam Parry, ETL co-founder,

this will puts these concepts, and the teams behind them, in the full show spotlight, next to estab- lished businesses, which we hope will serve as another leg up.” Companies exhibiting under
the ETP banner are eligible to enter the Event Technology Programme competition, which requires a one-minute explainer video detailing their ‘new tech’ product. Following a public vote, the three most impressive will be announced on Day 1 of ETL and invited to deliver a short

Silent Conference. Tis is where mul- tiple ‘breakouts’ take place in a single space without disturbing the other groups. It can save in set up costs and room hire charges and gives your presentations the impact of ensuring the delegates’ undivided attention. If you are thinking of leveraging
the smartphone in delegates’ pock- ets by encouraging social media or conference apps that include voting, silent conference and interpreta- tion, AVD can now provide the range of mobile phone chargers for on-site charging infrastructure to keep your delegates topped up, connected and engaged. If you are getting a bit low on charge yourself during EventIt you can come and charge your phone on our stand. n
