Exhibition
Building on the success of last year’s event which featured over 20 stands, the exhibition will once again be a centrepiece of the conference. Exhibitors will get the opportunity to showcase their project at one of the key social economy networking events of the year. There is no charge for exhibiting.
“Last years UCIT exhibition was excellent. It afforded us valuable networking opportunities which we would have struggled to have found ourselves. It also gave us a first class opportunity to showcase our services to a like minded market”
