EXSA partners with Technology Partners

Technology Partners has been appointed to manage EXSA’s social media. The company is an information and communications technology company, deeply rooted in the exhibitions and business events space.

When asked about their vision, Gavin Burgess, founder and managing director of Technology Partners, said: “What makes us stand out as a company is that we have a very strong technical, as well as a very strong creative team, which goes hand in hand. Through our expertise, we are able to partner with our clients and work collaboratively to add value to the experience of business events by leveraging technology, both on site and in the office.”

The exhibitions and business events industry in South Africa is steadily opening; and exhibition stand builders, infrastructure providers, organisers, and delegates alike, are revelling in the joy of being able to attend face-to-face events again. EXSA and its members are busy and excited about this much-anticipated return to the unparalleled passion found in the world of business events.

At the recent Meetings Africa held in February this year, the much-loved Sustainability Village featured again. The vendors who trade at the village are specifically local SMMEs who have exceptional products made from fully renewable or recyclable raw materials, and that would otherwise not have exposure to buyers from international markets. Partnering with the event, Technology Partners implemented their cashless trading platform that allowed these vendors to trade on a gift voucher basis — further enhancing the overall sustainability of the event by eliminating generic corporate gifts and allowing delegates to select their own gift.

The Sustainability Village and the accompanying voucher system, provided exclusively by Technology Partners, will be in use at the much-anticipated 2022 edition of Africa’s Travel Indaba.

Technology Partners offers a myriad of services to the industry, both on-site at events as well as in the offices of exhibition stand builders, infrastructure providers, organisers, and suppliers to the business events value chain. As a registered ISP and a managed services provider, Technology Partners looks after the diverse needs of our vibrant industry with world-class service.

EXSA is truly delighted to work with Technology Partners and is already reaping the rewards of this partnership through consistent and sustained growth of the association’s social media platforms.
