Plan Your Day at Space-Comm Expo Scotland
6th August 2024
Planning your day at the Space-Comm Expo Scotland, taking place 11-12 September 2024 at the SEC Glasgow, can help you make the most of your experience. Here are some steps to ensure you have a productive and enjoyable time:
- Pre-Event Prep
- Register for your free entry badge. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to be in the room with the movers and shakers of Scotland’s space sector.
- Review the Agenda and Programme: Visit the event’s official website to review the schedule, including keynote sessions, panel discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities. Make note of the sessions you’re most interested in.
- Research Exhibitors: Identify which companies and organisations will be present. Highlight the ones you want to visit for potential networking, partnership discussions, or learning about their latest technologies and products.
- Download the Event App: We will launch the event mobile app for apple and android devices, a few weeks before the event to all registered visitors. You will then be able to download the official event app, sponsored by ZEISS Group . It includes the programme and speaker list which you can ‘favourite’, a tool to enable meetings with exhibitors, floorplan of the event, personalised schedules, and real-time updates.
- Set Your Goals
- Identify Key Objectives: Whether you are there to network, learn about new technologies, seek partnerships, or explore career opportunities, set clear objectives.
- Prioritise Sessions and Meetings: Prioritize your must-see sessions and meetings with exhibitors or potential business contacts. Consider allocating time for less critical sessions that you might attend if time allows.
- Day of the Event
- Arrive Early: Arriving early allows you to navigate the venue, familiarise yourself with the layout, and beat the rush for popular sessions or exhibits.
- Visit Priority Exhibitors Early: Start with the exhibitors or sessions that are most important to you. This helps ensure you get the information and connections you need before the crowds gather.
- Attend Keynotes and Panels: Keynotes often provide valuable insights into industry trends and future directions. Panels can offer a range of perspectives on key issues.
- Network: Use breaks, workshops and networking sessions to meet other attendees. Be proactive in introducing yourself and discussing mutual interests. Don’t forget to bring business cards!
- Flexibility and Breaks
- Stay Flexible: Allow for some flexibility in your schedule. Interesting opportunities may arise spontaneously, such as unexpected networking chances or sessions running over time.
- Take Breaks: Schedule time to rest, grab a meal, and process the information you’ve gathered. This helps maintain energy and focus throughout the day.
- Post-Event Actions
- Follow Up: After the event, follow up with new contacts via email or LinkedIn. Reference the conversations you had and explore potential collaborations or further discussions.
- Review and Reflect: Go through your notes and materials collected from the event. Identify actionable insights and plan how to implement them in your work or business.
- Additional Tips
- Dress Appropriately: Dress in professional or business casual attire. Comfortable shoes are recommended as you may be walking a lot.
- Charge Your Devices: Ensure your phone, tablet, or laptop is fully charged. Carry a portable charger if possible.
- Bring Essentials: Carry a notebook, pen, and any necessary documents. Consider packing a water bottle and snacks.
By planning ahead and staying organised, you can maximize the value of your time at Space-Comm Expo Scotland. Enjoy the experience and make the most of the opportunities available!
