Part trade show, part coffee bar, the Business Bistro is a professional but also a relaxed environment in which to demonstrate cutting-edge products and strike commercial deals.
It is the place where exhibitors can strengthen their businesses and showcase their latest innovations to key leaders and purchasers in the science engagement sector. Exhibiting at the Ecsite Conference will enable your products to get noticed, our participants are always looking for new business opportunities. Showcase your products to the ideal audience: In 2022,
- 58% of Conference participants were CEOs, Directors or senior decision-makers of their institutions
- Describing their discipline, 9% of participants work in education and 13% work in exhibitions
- 74% of exhibitors at the 2022 Ecsite Conference reported being satisfied with the event and would like to exhibit again in 2023
Booths at the Business Bistro trade show can be tailored to suit your needs, you as the exhibitors take the lead on the booth design. After a careful selection, the booths will this year be built by Casapinta, a company with years of experience organising trade shows in Malta which knows the Mediterranean Conference Centre venue very well.
