Show Guide
C4 Events
Welcome, and thank you for visiting the North Somerset Business Show 2012. Today, you will have the opportunity of meeting a wide range of businesses who are here to showcase their products and services. Whatever your own business, we are sure that there will be something of use to you at the show - maybe not today or next week, but keep this guide, together with any business cards and literature you may collect,and use them as a valuable resource for your business needs. During your time here, you will also be able to enhance your commercial skills and techniques, update your knowledge of the latest developments in North Somerset, and expand your network of contacts during the presentations, seminars and speed-networking sessions we have planned for you. You can also take advantage of the cafe and bar facilities to chat with like-minded professionals. A polite request: The exhibitors here today have invested time and money in order to showcase themselves. It is considered unprofessional for visitors to attempt to market themselves to the exhibitors. Please reserve your networking to the speed-networking sessions, etc. unless you are specifically invited to supply information to individual exhibitors.
