The Festival and Outdoor Events Show (Festout) is returning to Sandown Park, Surrey on 26-27 September for its second outing.
The show is committed to supporting grass root companies in their first ventures into market and is offering two companies the opportunity to win their stand at the show.
As well as the stand itself, the winner gains from pre-show marketing, and also editorial opportunities from the show’s partner Access All Areas.
To qualify, companies must be under two years old and have a sales turnover of less than £500,000, as well as being a first time exhibitor.
The two winners each receive a 3m x 2m Shell Scheme Stand at Festout 2018, with a basic furniture package. Highly Commended entries will also receive an enviable discount on their stand. A Festout stand provides access to organisers whom are responsible for thousands of outdoor events and festivals across the UK every year; creating business opportunities that will support the continued growth of the exhibiting suppliers.
To enter, answer these questions and send to Kate Needham (kneedham@mashmedia.net):
• Your company name, website & contact details
• The services / products you provide
• What Festout will help you achieve
• What makes you unique in the market – and how you’ll bring this to Festout
Duncan Siegle, event director, said: “Exhibitions provide companies of all shapes and sizes a great platform for promotion, meeting new contacts and generating sales. As an organiser and publisher in this arena we want to help companies take advantage of these shows and demonstrate the power of exhibitions and that you don’t need to be a big name for them to work for you.”
The shortlist will be announced at the start of July, and Access All Areas will be showcasing them all in the subsequent print issue. A panel of neutral industry judges will then select their two winners.
Deadline 6pm, 30th June 2018.
