Online registration is now open for the free seminars at the Drives and Control 2010 Exhibition, Air-Tech, The International Fluid Power Exhibition, and The Plant and Works Exhibition. The seminar programme takes place alongside the shows at the NEC, Birmingham, from 8-10 June 2010.
The free, independent, industry-focused seminar programme will include a variety of half-hour presentations ranging from technical seminars to marketing strategy and even an insight into the financial world to help visitors understand the often misunderstood concept of lending criteria and what banks are looking for today from manufacturers. Graeme Allinson, head of manufacturing, transport and logistics at Barclays Commercial Bank, has confirmed he will be presenting at the shows, to talk about what banks look for when they lend money. Commenting on his presence at the show he said: "I am delighted to be presenting at the 2010 exhibitions. Visitors to these shows are confronting a difficult economic situation and this is a fantastic opportunity to give them a comprehensive insight into what banks look for when they lend money. Barclays Commercial Bank remains dedicated to increasing lending so that our clients are able to pursue their business agendas; indeed, our lending was up 10 per cent in the first half of 2009 compared with the same period last year and we are focused on getting closer to our clients than ever before."
Show organiser DFA Media is opening the seminar registration at the same time as the new exhibition websites go live. The new sites showcase the latest event news, and are designed to be industry portals for exhibitor products and services. The websites are therefore said to offer a more time-effective approach to visiting exhibitions, providing comprehensive information in advance of the shows.
