With a variety of exhibitors of marketing-related and CRM technology solutions, launching and demonstrating the latest products and services, a topical and highly popular seminar programme and the latest thought-leadership from industry gurus at the daily keynotes, TFM 2005 firmly established its position as the UK’s premier event for marketing-related and CRM technology solutions.
“Since its launch in 2000, TFM has consistently bucked the trend of exhibitions by achieving an increase in visitors every single year,” explains Simon Mills, Event Manager. “TFM has a strong, award-winning team behind it who, together with pro-active exhibitors and an unrivalled educational programme, have been able to provide the industry with an event that saw over 4,000 marketing, customer services and sales professionals actively exploring the latest marketing-related and CRM technology solutions. The re-booking for TFM 2006, with over 75% of stand space sold, provides further evidence that this was the best TFM yet.”
As well as providing visitors with a wide variety of the latest products and services to hit the market, TFM 2005 also presented a comprehensive educational programme. With over 3,800 seats filled over the two days, The Learning Zone, a series of four themed seminar theatres, provided visitors with 48 free seminar sessions that demonstrated how to successfully integrate marketing, customer service and sales functions to achieve profitable customer communication. The theatres, filled to capacity, presented a seminar programme that featured topical case study material from organisations including Orange, HP, Aberdeen FC, French Connection and BT Major. The strong educational theme of the event was extended with the
successful Google University. Hosted by Google, the developer of the award-winning Google search engine, The Google University held both beginner and advanced sessions on keyword advertising, which attracted over 600 attendees.
The Daily Keynote Sessions saw audiences of more than 350 visitors on each day of the event and sparked a fascinating debate. Day one was presented by Dave Chaffey, a leading e-marketing author and provider of Internet marketing training courses for CIM and an Internet marketing consultant who presented ‘Improving e-Marketing Performance: Using modeling, optimisation and automation to enhance results from e-marketing campaigns’. Whilst on the second day, Seán Kelly, author of the best-seller, Data Warehousing – The Route to Mass Customisation, and an IDM course presenter covered data warehousing, data mining and customer profiling in a succinct one-hour session, ‘Extracting Intelligence from Customer Data’.
