Manchester Business Expo

By Jim Symcox on Nov 21, 2008 in Manchester, Marketing, Tradeshows

The Northwest Business Exhibition was even better than last year, check my comments on Manchester Business Exhibition 2007.

I noticed that it wasn’t completely full and there were one or two no-shows, which I know is not unusual.

I bumped into the company who ran a Lamborghini competition last year. I discovered that although they were exhibiting a lovely red Ferrari it wasn’t a prize in a new competition as they’d heard of people having bad experiences with lending 3rd parties high-end luxury cars!

The highlight for me was meeting Sean Connery, alias 007 at the event organisers desk. Obviously he was a lookalike but he was still pretty good.

looking at the crowds rushing around it made you realise how much business people are chasing. And everyone was clustering around email marketing and SEO How-to seminars.

Email is straight forward and it’s good to see so many people looking at how to use it better.

So until next year goodbye to a great expo!
