In order to complement your activities with us on-site at the Event, we offer the opportunity to take advantage of our Virtual Event & Networking Platform! This will launch roughly one week prior to the Live Event and will remain open for a further two weeks after the event. Here, your company reps can begin to build connections and arrange meetings with our attendees ahead of actually joining us at the event! The virtual booth will also serve as a ‘meeting point’ where attendees can ‘Register their Interest’ in your organization and event and directly interact with you at the Virtual Booth.

In order for us to create your Virtual Booth/Company Profile and those of your Company Representatives please spend some time completing our online Event Platform Profile.

During the build-up to Event Week we are incredibly busy, and so to ensure that you and your team have a completed profile on the Virtual Event platform ahead of this launch, please can you ensure that we have received the completed form by Friday 28th April 2023. Submissions made after this should expect delays in receiving access to this platform.

When you receive your login information, please log in and build up your profile, you can also view the event agendas from here, as well as browse the event sponsors, attendees and other speakers.

We recommend being as active as possible on the event platform; connecting with delegates and arranging meetings.
