Business Week to find a new home online in virtual event
Ayrshire Chamber of Commerce says it will embrace the ‘ new normal’ by bringing Business Week to screens around the county this year.
A prominent slot on the business community events calendar for the past 12 years, Ayrshire Chamber will continue this year’s renewal via the digital events platform OnAir.
Working with The Events Hub and in partnership with principal sponsor, Business Gateway, a varied programme of events will be provided including workshops and the popular B2B Exhibition “Stay Connected” on Wednesday, October 7.
The event will open with a networking session followed by the exhibition itself, Business Gateway- sponsored workshop and arranged one to one meetings.
Exhibitors ‘ stands’ will be fully interactive with the ability to manage virtual attendee queues, capture visitor details, share brochures and video links and record one- to- one instant video meetings.
Each exhibitor will be invited to attend a pre- event session to get a feel for the platform and there will be video links for delegates to use before joining or visiting the exhibition.
CEO Val Russell said: “We are excited to bring Business Week to you this year instead of the other way around.
“It’s another ‘ new normal’ to embrace and we are looking forward to working with Business Gateway and The Events Hub to provide a professional, slick event via the well tested, robust OnAir platform and the technical expertise they will provide.”
The full programme of events for Ayrshire Business Week 2020 is available online with discounts available for early exhibition virtual stand bookings.
A Business Gateway spokesperson added: “We are delighted to be principal sponsor of this year’s Business exhibition ‘ Stay Connected’ as part of Ayrshire Business Week.
“This flagship event has gone from strength to strength over the years and we are confident it will continue to be a huge success in this new virtual platform.
“This is a pivotal time for Ayrshire businesses and it is important now more than ever for businesses to collaborate, come together and access the critical support that is available to them.
“At Business Gateway, we have adapted our own services to be responsive and reactive to the needs and challenges of businesses during this period.
“We are pleased not only to sponsor this event, but also to take part in the exhibition itself and continue to offer vital support, reassurance and guidance to Ayrshire businesses.
