Velvet Software's destination clients were out in force again at this year's EventUK exhibition.
Hosted at Birmingham's NEC, the show was well attended with many destinations reporting quality leads from visitors. Claire Williams of Staffordshire, Stoke on Trent and Ruth Robinson representing Blackpool and Lancashire Conferences were amongst those for who the show proved a success on the first day.
Both Eventia (Events Industry Association) and the MIA (Meetings Industry Association) had a presence at the show; supporting members and also generating leads for processing using Velvet's Chaser BUREAU system.
Velvet's Tim Clark and Chris Gibbs met with destination clients who were exhibiting and several who were attending the show as visitors. "Event UK has always been a great place to meet with clients", explained Tim. "Whilst the show may not be as large as in previous years, destinations have reported some excellent, quality enquiries and were upbeat about the level of potential business generated by the exhibition".
