Exhibiting at Postgrad LIVE: What to Expect at Our Autumn Events
As we start the new academic year, we’re excitedly preparing for our autumn events season for 2024! If you haven’t yet secured your place at our study fairs, there’s still time – but hurry, spaces are filling up fast, and bookings will close soon. Our Postgrad LIVE events will be taking place in Glasgow and London this autumn, offering a great opportunity to connect with prospective postgraduate students.
Introducing Connect for Events to ensure you have more quality conversations
This season, we’re trialing an exciting new feature at our fairs: our Connect for Events tool. Designed to enhance your event experience, Connect for Events enables students to search for exhibitors offering the specific courses they are interested in. This will help increase the number of high quality conversations you have with students who are actively seeking what your institution offers.
Therefore it’s essential to ensure your course listings on FindAMasters and FindAPhD are up to date, as this is the data driving Connect for Events. Double check your listings so students can find you easily and come prepared with informed questions for you, making every interaction even more meaningful.
Before you arrive
Once you’ve booked your stand, you’ll receive your exhibitor pack with all the essential details to make the event run smoothly. Key among these will be instructions on setting up FAUScan, our lead-capturing app. To avoid any last-minute issues, we recommend downloading the app and getting familiar with it ahead of time.
Bring along your branded materials – tablecloths, banners, and all the promotional items you can fit. (Students love free stuff!) If you’re bringing more materials than you can carry, consider sending them via a courier service, but don’t forget to arrange pick-up after the event and let us know your courier details!
For more pre-event preparation tips, take a look at our five things to do before exhibiting at a study fair.
On arrival
We’ll be ready to welcome you from 9:30am at the venue. Our Events Team will guide you to your stand, complete with chairs, lanyards, and a few sweet treats to keep you going throughout the day.
During the fair
Doors will open to students at 12pm, and from then on, it’s all about making connections. Whether you’re promoting postgraduate courses, discussing research opportunities, or explaining funding options, this is your chance to meet engaged postgraduate students in person.
With our FAUScan app, collecting student details is simple and GDPR-compliant. FAUScan is included in your booking allowing you to capture contact information for follow-up after the event – maximising your lead generation.
This year, Connect for Events will help ensure that many of the students visiting your stand are already interested in what you have to offer, making your time spent even more productive.
Throughout the day, we’ll have tea, coffee, and lunch provided, with dietary options for everyone. Make sure you let us know your preferences in advance when you book.
After the fair
The fair will wrap up at 3pm. Before you head out, gather any remaining materials (or arrange for collection, if necessary) and leave the packing of the furniture to us.
Hear from former exhibitors
Want to know what to expect? Here’s what some of our previous exhibitors had to say about Postgrad LIVE:
We’re working hard to boost our PG presence at exhibitions, and this is the best organisation to partner with for that. Always love attending and feel very looked after and well attended to.
It has been a great experience and we met many students who showed interest in our programmes. It has been a pleasure attending and we look forward to come back next year!
Great experience with good quality attendees!
If you have any questions about our upcoming fairs or how the new Connect for Events tool works, drop us an email at [email protected]. And if you haven’t yet, book your stand today to secure your place. With limited spaces left and bookings closing one week before each event, don’t miss out on what promises to be a fantastic autumn season! We look forward to seeing you there.
