An invaluable sales opportunity affordably priced

The London Vet Show 2009 was a fantastic success. 2010 looks set to be another sell out event!

Don’t miss your chance to be at the heart of the best value opportunity to get face to face with UK vets.

 

1,977 delegates (Excluding any exhibitor staff) attended the inaugural London Vet Show. 89% were either vets, partners or owners of a practice. It was a resounding success for exhibitors.

Our method is straight forward. We provide a unique mix of world class business and clinical lectures vets need to satisfy professional CPD requirements and develop their careers and practices. We provide it at a fantastically low price for them. We actively promote it through every channel to ensure all vets know about it. We ensure the programming and location of the lecture theatres makes it easy for them to spend plenty of time with the companies who make the event possible – our exhibitors.

If you are a supplier to the veterinary profession, or if you want to be a supplier to the veterinary profession, the London Vet Show has very quickly established itself as the best way to reach this valuable audience face to face. But don’t take our word for it. Here are comments from exhibitors. We hope these answer some of your questions about what you can expect.

What is the quality and quantity of delegates like?

This has exceeded our expectations, it has been brilliant. The quality of the contacts has been excellent and the stand attendance has been strong throughout. Rachel Crowe – Virbac

Very pleased with the show, a good number of delegates who tended to be more senior members of the practice.  Compared to other shows I have been very impressed with the number of decision makers present. Darren Peart - Intervet Schering-Plough

Where do the delegates come from?

It’s been very  impressive for a first year.  There are people with buying power; partners and practice managers, and the exhibition has been very high on their list of interests.  People have travelled a long way to be here. Sharon Tongue, Norbrook Laboratories

I’ve been extremely impressed by the numbers and quality of the delegates. We have seen a surprising number of our existing clients from as far afield as Dublin, Northern Ireland, Cornwall and Lancashire - who came because of the quality of the streams. I have more quality new leads generated in two days than I did for the whole of BSAVA this year. I am very confident that we will get at least two or three pieces of business from the discussions we have had this morning. There is a very high percentage of decision makers coming through, owners, partners, practice managers:  we are talking to the people who sign the cheques. Jon Hewitt, Teleos

Are the delegates there looking to buy and meet new suppliers?

It’s been a very busy show. Busier than I expected and a lot of people are interested in our products… there has been a good constant flow of delegates.   

People are coming here to weigh up different suppliers.  They have planned their visit and they are asking the right sort of questions.   We have met key decision makers and I am confident of getting several deals as a result of the show. Phil Balchin, Vetz

People are actively interested in what we are doing and not just coming out into the exhibition because they feel duty bound to the sponsors. They have come to look at different suppliers and with a real interest in the products. 

We are talking with top people, at decision maker level. This event has been much better than I expected. Trevor Bolton, Direct Medical Supplies

Will it work for me if I want to win large numbers of leads?

We’ve been very busy, which is great. The purpose of us exhibiting at the show was to meet as many vets and practice managers as possible. The show has been a huge success and has enabled us to promote our new business venture.  This has been more successful than BSAVA, we’ve seen people from all over the country. Paula McKillen, Pet Protect

The organisers deserve to be congratulated on promoting and putting together such a successful show with so many veterinarians in attendance. We were overrun at times on the ORIJEN stand with enquiries about our award winning food and have had a large number of subsequent stocking requests.” Colin Rodger, Bern Pet Foods Ltd

Will it work for me if I am selling a high value or specialist product or service?

There has been a pleasing number of the right people - vets not nurses.  Audience is looking good and the quality of inquiry has been high – seen three potentially good customers in the first morning alone and it only takes one project to make our coming to the show worthwhile. James Steggles, Brightstar Veterinary

Our primary reason for coming is to generate sales leads and we have taken six solid enquiries which is fine for a capital investment product costing a minimum £10k. We have attended shows in the past where we did not have one conversation with a potential buyer. So, I have a very good feeling about this show and am sure it will be a continuing success. Martin Goddard, RX Works

What would a network of vet practices who really know this sector and it’s events make of it?

This is the best exhibition we have been to in three years. Came with a target of 10 regions where we wanted to find vets to open new practices.  We have got great contacts for seven of them from all over the country. It’s been very successful.

The commercial stream seems to have been successful at bringing in the business people Richard Powell, Vets4 Pets

Is it somewhere my colleagues and I want to spend two days?

Thought it would be much smaller so pleased to see so many companies here.  It’s a fun event, it’s been organised really well and the staff have been very helpful and supportive.  We have met loads of decision makers – vets and practice managers - including 50 at our workshop. Paul Tye, Idexx Laboratories
