Norbain LIVE07 events gets rave reviews
Oct 30 2007
Reading, UK
Norbain LIVE has been hailed yet again as a huge success by exhibitors and visitor alike, prompting Norbain to publicly confirm that the event will be running again in 2008.
Now in its fifth consecutive year, Norbain LIVE offers anybody involved in the specification, procurement, or day-to-day use of electronic security equipment a unique opportunity to get hands-on with the latest advancements in electronic security. Industry experts were on site to offer in-depth advice, professional demonstrations and answer any queries visitors had about their current and future installations.
"We take a great deal of care organising the shows and selecting locations to ensure that everyone gets the most out of the event," says Norbain’s Marie Kemshall, event manager for the show. "It’s a real networking opportunity that benefits everyone that attends and the feedback we have received has confirmed that it was yet again a huge success."
What the exhibitors had to say
Sarah Dartnell, FAAC
"We got a number of excellent new leads from companies we haven’t dealt with before and got the chance to really explain the benefits that our products offer. The ‘touch and feel’ factor plays a strong part at these events which offer us a chance to spend quality time with each visitor."
Andy Cassidy, Samsung
"We’ve participated in all the LIVE events and have always got a lot out of them. The visitors that came to the show this year had a real interest in the technology behind the products. The number of visitors to the stand was also excellent, and Norbain staff would regularly bring people over to show them products that they thought would help them solve a particular application. The shows are definitely a great use of time, allowing us to see the most number of customer in each region."
Simon Hadley, JVC
"We got a good number of leads from the show which had a broad mix of visitors – from end-users, to installers and specifiers. There’s no doubt that we wouldn’t get the same range of visitors from an event in just one part of the country."
What the visitors had to say
Chris Jenkins, BWS Security
"I’ve attended and enjoyed a number of the LIVE events over the last four years and was particularly impressed with this one. We went with a number of specific goals in mind and were able to achieve all of them."
Peter Reagen, Sonic Alarms
"We found Norbain LIVE very useful this year. As well as meeting with our Norbain Account Manager we were able to see what new products and technologies were on the market. The opportunity to see them demonstrated was excellent."
Neal Anderson, Viscount Alarms
"I think the biggest advantage of Norbain LIVE for us was being able to touch and feel the latest products on the market. Travelling up to larger events such as IFSEC takes a whole day which we often can’t justify, so a local event which you can just pop into works very well for us."
Norbain LIVE will be taking to the road again at around the same time in 2008. You can keep abreast of these developments and see what other shows Norbain are involved with at www.norbain.co.uk/events.
