Steve Thomason from competition sponsors Agora Marketing Communications, presented the £100 Amazon Vouchers to Max for successfully visiting each of the 32 exhibitors at the recent Medilink Midlands Innovation Day in Coventry.
“The exhibitor competition on the day was a great way of encouraging delegates to speak to everyone exhibiting at the event,” said Max. “It prompted conversations with people representing companies with which, at first glance, we had no obvious synergies. The scale of the exhibition was perfect in making the competition challenging but achievable and we certainly benefited from participating.
“The Medilink Midlands Innovation Day is an event we prioritise in our events calendar every year. We feel it is a really valuable exhibition for all regional organisations operating in the life sciences or med-tech spaces and it was great this year to do it in person again. Exhibiting gives us the opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new contacts and learn more about the capability that surrounds us. The presentations are useful for raising awareness about recent developments in the region and learning from the experience of other peer organisations. MTIF are already looking forward to next year’s Innovation Day and all those for the foreseeable future.”
Steve Thomason from Agora Marketing said, “We were delighted to sponsor the exhibition alongside Coventry University, who were the main sponsors of this important day for the life science sector in the Midlands, and encouraged by the conversations taking place throughout the day amongst exhibitors and delegates for collaboration in the future.
