Success for inaugural IT & Telecoms focussed exhibition

The techmesh IT & Telecoms EXPO on the 30 September was an opportunity for delegates who wanted to gain further awareness of the Yorkshire and Humber IT & Telecoms sector. On the day there were 31 IT & Telecom companies from around the region showcasing their latest trends, innovations and services.

Skyrack Technology, based in Selby , showcased their Voice Connect range of products. They did a live demonstration of the High Definition features available over WIFI connectivity. Hosted voice and IP PBX services were high on the agenda of many potential customers and resellers alike.

Gavin Sweet from Skyrack Technology said: “techmesh provided an interesting regional conference and IT tradeshow forum for Skyrack to take the opportunity to do some early autumn marketing. The show was well attended, with particularly good crowds in the morning”.

Catherine Carlyle from Caltech CRM exhibited on the day, she said: “We met lots of potential clients and partners and a partner/client post event meeting has already taken place.

The quality of the delegates was great. We have done other IT focused events at the Armouries this year, but they didn’t bring us potential leads at all and delegate turn-out was very low.

techmesh expo had a vibrant feel to the day and there was lots of delegates there. The speakers were of a high calibre and we found the show invaluable. “

Mark Williams from Refractiv exhibited on the day, he said: “With guests from Google on our stand and the chance to win a 12 month subscription to Google Apps Premier Edition we were confident that the day would be a success.

In fact the event more than met our expectations. Visitors to our stand were keen to see Google Apps for themselves - with the collaboration potential of Documents a particular favourite. We also showcased a few of our most recent website and software development projects.

All in all, the techmesh EXPO was a roaring success. Thanks to everyone at techmesh and Connect Yorkshire for a great show, thanks to Alfred Biehler, Enterprise Channel Manager at Google for coming up from London to see us, and thanks to all who visited our stand. We look forward to next year!”

Running alongside the exhibition was a conference with opportunities to listen to keynote speakers from the largest IT & Telecom companies in the World. The conference attracted many delegates from as far afield as the United States of America!
