Certain industries and professions lend themselves particularly well to promotion through events.

Trade shows provide the ideal shop window for many companies to sell their products to a wider audience through offering exhibitors the opportunity to demonstrate, first hand, their products and services to buyers and specifiers.

Through the business publication side of Datateam, we are ideally placed across many industry sectors to recognise the marketing opportunities a trade show would present to companies operating within precisely selected sectors.

Our annual Printwear and Promotion is a perfect example of this, launched in conjunction with our printwear magazine, for all types of companies operating within the printing (silk screen and digital) marketplace.

We also organise Conferences and Awards Dinners for a number of different market sectors, with our specialist events division having over 30 years of experience in planning, organising, marketing and staging a whole host of creative business-to-business events.

Whilst being totally 'hands-on' in every aspect of the running of these shows, generally speaking, we organise them in conjunction with carefully chosen partners. Almost inevitably, this likely to be the national trade association of the industry concerned.

Our events are always staged at venues which are completely suited to the industry involved, and can range from specialist venues for small or bespoke events, right through to national exhibition centres, such as the Birmingham NEC, ExCel London and the SECC, for thousands of square metres of uninterrupted exhibition space. A wide choice of creative sponsorship and promotional options are always made available to suit every size of event, company and budget.

Far from being seen as competitive to our publications, this important side to our business is seen as being complementary to our magazines, directories and handbooks; adding to the overall marketing mix and providing companies with the opportunity for campaign planning and marketing through a single source.
