Tips for Exhibitors

• Delegates are senior decision-makers; focus your pitch on how your solution saves them money, increases their occupancy rates, or lowers their operational costs.
• Tailor your booth signage and talking points to reflect current industry priorities like sustainability, digital integration, or visitor experience.
• Use the social functions and gala dinner to listen to the specific pain points of park operators; it is often in these conversations that the most valuable partnerships begin.
• This is a high-level conference, so ensure your stand design, staff attire, and presentation materials reflect the premium nature of the caravanning industry.
• If you have multiple shows in a year, pick reliable displays that move with you. From lightboxes to non-illuminated frames, and from foldable and fabric tube types to modular displays for your event needs.
