WHAT’S NEW FOR OUR EXHIBITORS?We appreciate and recognise the huge investment in time and resources involved in this form of interactive sponsorship. We depend on the Expo to provide experiential opportunities for the attendees – learn about new technologies and applications in the conference sessions – and experience it in the Expo!

The Exhibitor Portal will feature your logo, your story and links to your website. AND? We have added the ability for you to access your web post and update with specials and announcements which will be directly available to the delegates and visitors to the site. This portal will remain open to you and visitors to the site until the creation of Locate16’s devoted site – more than 10 months!

Locate App will be a long term investment by Locate Conferences with the view to maximize the life of the event and your campaign. From the moment delegates register to attend, they will be invited to upload the app as a communication tool, you will be able to update your information at anytime, schedule a “push” (timing to be scheduled by the committee) during the lead up, and communicate during the conference on Twitter offering incentives to visit your stand.

Each stand will receive a QR Code – you can run competitions, position a welcome video message or simply communicate your brand. As the visitors scan your code, their information is loaded into a report on the web dashboard just for you!

We are also investigating a video option which will allow you to broadcast from your stand and stream live to the global Spatial community. Stay tuned

SME DISPLAY OPPORTUNITY: COOL TOOLSA significant portion of Spatial innovation and breakthroughs are generated by small business. Whilst lacking the manpower and budget of larger companies, their message no less important.

If you are an SME with no more than 2 employees and have a story to tell, or a gizmo to demonstrate – there are a small number of display opportunities available within the Expo.

Locate15 Committee would like to hear about your company and why Locate15 attendees need to hear from you! Please apply via email on [email protected].

SME Display participants will have access to the Exhibitor Portal and the Locate App.
