The importance of critical voice and data services in the events industry

Exhibitions are a crucial part of the global economy, bringing together businesses, investors, and consumers to showcase the latest products and services. However, organizing a successful exhibition can be challenging, requiring effective communication and collaboration among organisers, exhibitors, and attendees.

According to the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI), exhibitions contribute £180 billion to the global economy annually, making them a significant driver of economic growth. However, organising a successful exhibition requires effective communication and collaboration. Airacom’s powerful voice and data solutions offer exhibition companies a competitive advantage in ensuring seamless communication and collaboration, leading to a successful event.

These solutions enable event organisers to communicate and collaborate effectively, overcoming logistical and security challenges. Hiring voice and data services from us ensures your exhibition utilises the best-of-breed technology, expertise, and support, freeing up your resources and giving you peace of mind.

exhibition Industry Challenges

Understaffing:

The exhibition and conference industry is facing challenges that are causing understaffing. Delays in event planning, rising costs, the need for diverse skill sets, and difficulties with employee retention are the main factors. These challenges can put pressure on existing staff, resulting in burnout and understaffing. The industry must adapt and find innovative solutions to address these issues, promoting employee retention, improving efficiency, and reducing costs. A thriving exhibition and conference industry is crucial to the UK and global economies, and addressing these challenges is essential for its continued success.

Overspending:

Overspending can significantly impact the exhibition and conference industry. It can lead to budget deficits, forcing event organisers to cut corners, reduce quality, or cancel the event. Overspending can also affect future funding opportunities, reducing stakeholders’ confidence in the event’s success. This may lead to challenges in securing sponsorships or funding for future events, resulting in long-term financial difficulties. To avoid overspending, event organisers must prioritise effective budget planning and management to ensure financial sustainability and the success of future events.

Collaboration:

Effective communication and collaboration are crucial for successful exhibitions and conferences. Airacom offers reliable voice and data services to ensure seamless communication between staff and organisers. Our solutions enable real-time updates and quick responses to any changes or emergencies, ensuring successful events. By prioritising communication and collaboration, exhibition and conference companies can enhance the overall experience of their attendees and promote their brand and business objectives.

Security:

Security challenges can pose a significant risk to exhibitions and conferences. The risk of theft, terrorism or other security breaches can endanger attendees and event staff and result in financial losses. Airacom’s secure communication services mitigate these risks by providing end-to-end encryption for voice and data communications, ensuring sensitive information remains private. This helps event organizers monitor security threats and respond quickly and efficiently to any incidents, ensuring the safety of all attendees and staff.
