Client managers with you every step of the way

Your Client Manager is your key contact with Info Salons throughout the life of your project. Our CM team under Ian Bentley bring depth of experience and a keen understanding of the exhibition and events industry to every situation.

Your CM is there from the start, overseeing all your pre-event activity – database management, pre-registration, printing, art management and a myriad of other details – are all tracking well and making sure our production team has everything in hand.

The Client Manager provides expert advice on the onsite requirements in terms of equipment and staffing – allocation of space, crowd management issues, furniture, power, signage and any occupational health & safety requirements. The CM is there to ensure your event opens fully prepared and right on time and that exhibitors who have booked Tracker devices are fully trained in their use.

During the event, constant liaison is provided to the organiser and at the end of each day, a list of visitor statistics is made available, often within minutes of the close. At the larger trade fairs, a CM is on hand to oversee the self-registration process at a bank of terminals as well as supervise the terminals which are staffed.

At the close of the show, the CM produces a comprehensive report on the visitor activity for the entire event – noting the origin of visitors, the peaks and valleys in visitation and other key information.

A comprehensive debrief with the client, complete with charts outlining the main features of the expo, is presented within a few weeks of the event and any issues thoroughly discussed.

The devil is in the detail with any trade or consumer show and we’re proud of the way our Client Managers are able to foresee and respond to just about everything that gets thrown their way.

Here’s what our customers have to say about their Info Salons Client Managers:

“Our dedicated Client Manager is always on hand, day and night, seven days a week leading up to MAFW Spring/Summer in May and Autumn/Winter in November to answer any queries from "have I ordered enough plastic holders" to coordinating and implementing the all important seating plans and seating allocation for the week, plus more."
Lucia Labbate, Program Manager, Mercedes Australian Fashion Week

"Our dedicated Client Manager was always available and willing to answer questions or put out fires in the lead-up and onsite for the ADMA Pan-Pacific Conference. ADMA is a not-for-profit organisation with limited resources, so having a supplier who is always flexible and constantly looking for more cost efficient ways of doing things - in line with the prestige of the event - is priceless."
Claudia Sagripanti, Australian Direct Marketing Association (ADMA)

"Please pass on our thanks to the Client Manager and the rest of the team that worked so hard for us. They were always professional, flexible and helpful in the weeks leading up to the event and on-site."
Carrie Elton, Executive Director, Exhibition and Event Association (EEAA)

"Our thanks go to the Client Manager for all the administration in the lead up to the show. They were always happy to accommodate our ever changing requests. I look forward to working with the team again."
Brian Thomas, Divisional Director, Health & Sport Division, Reed Exhibitions
