What can I expect from a Terrapinn event?
Terrapinn conferences are intensively researched, highly interactive, educational business to business events. Typically two days with pre- or post-conference workshops, they are specially designed to provide attendees with as many face-to-face networking opportunities as possible. Frequent breaks in the conference programme, speed networking sessions and cocktail receptions all provide excellent networking opportunities for delegates, speakers and sponsors. In addition, the programme content is always carefully researched and highly relevant to the target audience, and presented by a selection of senior industry decision-makers.

How can I make the most out of pre-event marketing?
Having signed up to support a Terrapinn conference as a sponsor, we’re sure that you care just as much about its success as we do. In order to maximise your exposure to the market our marketing department will call you to discuss how you can get more involved in pre-event marketing.

How do I send show material to the event and how do I get it back?
Sponsors and exhibitors must consult their manuals (sent to them by the Operations Manager for the event) as to when and where to send their materials for the conference.

Exhibitors should ensure their airway bill numbers and consignment numbers are carried with them to the venue. This enables goods and equipment to be readily traced at customs and freight forwarding companies. All airway bills/shipping notes must be clearly marked with “All charges to account consignor”.

How do I register guests?
If you are registering any guests for the conference, please use the guest pass form provided in the exhibitor manual.

What happens on the day?
Sponsors will be provided with arrival and set-up times in their exhibitor manuals. You will have name badges prepared for you on arrival, and an allocated location for your exhibition stand. There will be a member of Terrapinn staff assigned to assist you with any requirements on the day.

What happens once I sign?
Once you have signed up to sponsor a Terrapinn event, you will receive copies of the conference brochure once it has been printed, plus an exhibitor manual. The exhibitor manual contains all the information you require pre-event. You will also be contacted by a member of our marketing team to assess whether you are able to assist in any pre-event marketing.

How do I get access to presentations and documents?
Sponsors have access to all documents and presentation material via our online “CONTACT” system after the event. You will be emailed your personal username and password for this system one week before the event. Documents will be available one week after the conference.

Are there any discounts for my clients?
