Participation proposition
Clarify the audience, sector focus, formats and available services. Explain the commercial reasons to participate without presenting unconfirmed attendance, leads or sales as guaranteed outcomes.
A commercial proposition built for the right participants.
CEMS shapes exhibitor and sponsor acquisition around sector relevance, market objectives and a credible participation offer. We help programmes approach domestic and international companies with a clear reason to consider exhibition space, visibility or a defined partnership.
Relevance before volume.
The commercial task starts with which companies fit the programme and what participation could help them achieve. Exhibitor sales and sponsorship discussions require distinct propositions, supported by accurate event information and a disciplined follow-up process.
Capabilities
Company and sector priorities
Define suitable product categories, company profiles, countries and buyer relationships. Prioritise firms whose offer, export capacity and commercial objectives match the programme.
International recruitment routes
Explore direct company engagement and discussions with export agencies, associations, chambers or appointed representatives. Collective participation is scoped around the actual group and event availability.
Exhibitor engagement
Use company-specific relevance, a clear stand offer and a practical next step. Supply appropriate participation information and resolve requirements before progressing to booking.
Sponsor proposition
Develop visibility and engagement options around the sponsor’s audience and objectives. Specify placements, deliverables, access arrangements and additional services in the written proposal.
Opportunity management
Record contact status, requirements, proposal stage, next action and owner. Distinguish interest, a conditional request and confirmed participation in commercial reporting.
Booking coordination
Support the handover from discussion to the agreed participation terms. Space allocation, payment obligations and confirmation follow the documented event booking process.
Commercial reporting
Review enquiries, qualified opportunities, proposals and confirmed commitments against the agreed targets. Identify bottlenecks and prioritise the next actions that can advance decisions.

Frequently asked questions
Can we appoint CEMS for a defined part of a project?
A focused assignment can be discussed alongside a broader programme. The proposal should identify exactly which activities CEMS will deliver and which remain with the client or other appointed providers.
How are deliverables and fees agreed?
A written proposal sets out the scope, milestones, commercial terms, responsibilities and any separately priced services. Availability and delivery commitments are confirmed for the individual assignment.
How is success assessed?
Agree practical measures before work begins. Distinguish activity completed, responses received, confirmed participation and commercial outcomes so progress can be reviewed accurately.
