The first year we exhibited, we had a stand in the Business Village, where we made a lot of useful contacts.

我们第一次展出时，我们在商业村有一个展位，那里我们结识了很多有用的联系人。

We also used the Breakout area where people could sit down and relax, and try out our products, and due to popular request we used that again last year.

我们还使用了休息区，人们可以坐下来放松，并尝试我们的产品，由于有需求，我们去年再次使用了这个休息区。

Last year we also sponsored the innovative Business Connections Zone where people could leave their contact details on a board to contact other companies, and that also effectively raised our corporate profile.

去年我们还赞助了创新的Business Connections区，人们可以在公告板上留下联系方式以联系其他公司，这也有效地提升了我们的企业形象。

We're hoping that in the coming exhibition we'll also have a presence in the Digital Marketing centre, which is clearly a key area for our company.

我们希望在即将到来的展览中，我们也能在数字营销中心有一个存在，这显然是我们公司的一个关键领域。

And also maybe have our own Talkcon Zone, at some stage.'

The exhibition's open from 8am to 11pm and there's a range of special events for you to enjoy in the evening.

展览从上午8点持续到晚上11点，晚上还有各种特别活动供您享受。

As well as a unique chance to publicise your company, businesses who exhibit with us can claim discounts on a number of popular brands, including major high street fashion and jewellery outlets, as well as grocery chains.

除了一个独特的宣传公司机会，参展商还可以享受一些热门品牌的折扣，包括主要的百货公司和珠宝店，以及超市连锁店。

Discounts available range from 3.5% up to an amazing 15%, so you can save a lot of money.

In fact, the average saving made by each exhibitor came to over £400!
