Keynote speakers and further engaging workshop sessions will be announced over the coming days and weeks, creating what promises to be one of the region’ s strongest business event programmes. Dave Allan, director of Resolution Media and Publishing, said the emphasis throughout the day would be on providing delegates with genuine value.
“ We’ ve been determined from the outset that this won’ t simply be another business event where people listen to interesting speakers before returning to work unchanged,” said Dave.
“ We’ re bringing together experts who combine genuine knowledge with real business experience, and every workshop has been chosen because delegates will leave with practical ideas, strategies and techniques they can put into action as soon as they return to the office.”
Insight – along with the exhibition, delegates will enjoy a packed programme of keynote speakers and workshops in the Legends Lounge, Guest Lounge, Rockliffe Lounge and The Archery inside the Riverside Stadium.
Alongside the speaker programme, organisers are inviting businesses to become part of the event by exhibiting or taking advantage of a range of partnership opportunities.
Exhibiting provides businesses with an excellent opportunity to: > Promote products and services to hundreds of delegates. > Generate valuable new leads and business connections. > Raise brand awareness across the Tees region. > Network with influential business leaders and decision-makers.
> Meet prospective clients and collaborative partners face-to-face. A range of event partnership packages is also available, offering businesses the opportunity to align their brand with one of the region’ s newest flagship business events while benefiting from extensive promotional exposure before, during and after the Showcase and Forum.
With exhibitor bookings gathering pace and further speaker announcements imminent, organisers believe the inaugural event is set to become a permanent fixture in the Tees Valley business calendar.
Businesses interested in exhibiting or exploring partnership opportunities are encouraged to book soon to secure their preferred exhibition location and become part of what promises to be an outstanding celebration of Teesside business.
