The key to experiencing a successful trade fair is to be there

Making the most of trade shows

With our full support it’s an easy ride. Our specially created “How to Exhibit Stress-Free” advice and services give you the reassurance that you are on top of it. And that means that at any moment you have all the information at your fingertips that makes your trade show participation a success.

You’re one source for all the individual parts that make and break your participation at a trade show a success will be split in accessible, easy to digest parcels of information. By that we mean the things that differ at the various venues, such as stand applications, costs, working with contractors, booking accommodation, meeting deadlines. The list continues.

The Reference Point offers trade fair facilitation, nationally and internationally, and across industry sectors, a service that makes your life easier, enabling you to concentrate on your business before, during and after a trade show.

After years of working with our clients, we have come to know where our assistance is valued the most. Our services are intended to take the administrative strain out of your trade fair participation. We will look after all aspects of the process, to ensure the event runs smoothly for you and your organisation. That you need handle catalogue entry, review advertising, marketing and sponsorship options, write briefing notes for the team on site, organise hospitality, find, select and supervise contractors, oversee quotes and orders from retained service providers (transport, catering, personnel), promote your presence in advance, coach and train the staff in attendance will be a thing of the past.

We will do it all for you. Our assistance will be tailored according to your requirements.

We can also assist you with accommodation, stand design and transport matters. Approved service partners can be found here.

The Reference Point has always been an excellent partner for Vickers Oils in planning and organising the SMM exhibition in Hamburg, Germany. From efficiently handling the requirements of Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH (the event organisers), to supporting us with our requirements at the exhibition, they have played a crucial role in our success at SMM over the years. Nele Andersch has personally looked after the requirements of Vickers Oils and supported us along every step in organising and planning the exhibition. All queries were effectively conveyed to the organisers by Nele and appropriate solution was reached on behalf of both parties. We always look forward to exhibiting at SMM and working with Nele in making it a success. Vickers Oils have partnered with The Reference Point for more than 10 years.

Napier Turbochargers have been using Nele for many years as our liaison with the Messe in Hamburg for our SMM application and our subsequent participation in the shows. We have received a thorough professional approach at all times and would highly recommend her services.

We’ve been working with The Reference Point since 2016. Due to the scale of the event, the booking process for WindEnergy Hamburg is quite different to other exhibitions we attend, Nele is always on hand to help us navigate this and achieve our objectives both with exhibition space and sponsorship opportunities. Her knowledge and expertise have been extremely useful as well as her flexible approach adapting to changes in our business needs.
