EVENTS AND EXHIBITIONS 11
“ You can ’ t put a price on upskilling and education ,” says Macnamara . “ Part of the motive behind these shows is to give the plumber a chance to not only learn about but experience what is new in the industry , and then incorporate that into their own businesses .”
On the other hand , the shows provide exhibitors a platform to communicate directly with plumbers and artisans in related fields , as well as giving them a chance to do live demonstrations of their products . In addition to learning more about various technical aspects of their business , plumbers also get the chance to acquire general business advice via the various educational workshops that take place at the shows .
“ Now is the best time for exhibitors to book their spots ,” says Macnamara , “ There are several opportunities throughout this year to get close to the industry you serve .”
Attendees learn as they browse .
Visitors get to attend these expos for free and can earn CPD points as well .
