Also new for ITU TELECOM

with advance access to visitor data to help
generate valuable contacts and sales leads before
the event. To ensure you get maximum return on
your participation, the system will also be used
to generate segmented visitor lists that will be
available exclusively to exhibitors at the end of
the show, to ensure you continue to close deals
long after the event is over.
Build
Brand awareness
ITU TELECOM

2003 also offers many exciting
opportunities for increasing your organization’s
visibility and enhancing its brand image: on-site

sites around the show, as well as to major hotels
and news networks including CNN and CNBC; a
high-quality Daily Newspaper, distributed
throughout the venue and to leading hotels and
transport hubs; a comprehensive Exhibition
Catalogue; an attractive range of sponsorship and
signage options; and on-site monitoring services
to help you gauge the effectiveness of your
participation.
Expanded
facilities
Upgraded parking facilities and traffic management
systems will greatly streamline vehicle access,
while the new 500 square metre limit on stand
size, imposed for the first time in 2003 at the
request of exhibitors, will dramatically cut
exhibitor costs and bring the event down to a more
human scale.
