A new addition ahead of this year’s Med-Tech Innovation Expo is the visitor portal, allowing you to plan your visit to the NEC, develop contacts and leads, and ultimately help you get the most out of this year’s show.

The portal gives you a full list of exhibitors and speakers and allows you to allocate time to set up meetings and attend seminar sessions accordingly.
The conference programme, speaker line-up and exhibitor directory will be visible exclusively within the event platform, to those who register for the event.
Each visitor will have a diary within the platform where they can manage recommendations, meeting requests, conference sessions, and more, allowing for a streamlined experience at the show. It gives you the ability to view the full list of attendees, any of whom you can send instant chats and meeting requests.
The portal also allows you to develop an online profile for potential buyers to explore, all of which is trackable and enables you to see who has expressed interest in your company. Companies are able to upload information about products and services, which will be recommended to buyers based on what they told us when they registered.
Setting up a profile and access
Logging in via med-techexpo.com, click on the sidebar and scroll down to Exhibitor Portal where you will be redirected to sign in with the email address and password you used in your initial setup. If you aren’t set up as a user on your company’s account or want to allow access for a colleague, you can do this by email mtiops@rapidnews.com.
You will be redirected to a welcome page. By clicking on task list, you can build your company profile by following the on-screen instructions. Your company profile will be visible to show visitors.
On a tick box page within the task list, you will be asked to select the kind of companies that you are interested in doing business with, and which best describes your products and services. Filling this out will allow us to provide visitor recommendation to those in attendance. You are also provided with the opportunity to add a welcome video or bespoke profile picture, along with links to your social media platforms. Exhibitors can also add resources and online staff to have access to the portal, and those will be manning your stand at the show. This allows visitors to select members of staff that they would like to book a meeting with. Order lead capture and the ability to browse leads will also be available to exhibitors.
Arranging meetings
Visitors can request meetings with you using the meetup option. The standard time put on the meet up for a meeting is 30 minutes, but this can be edited. Exhibitors can also invite visitors to their stand too, using the marketing assets tab.
This is a very exciting piece of new technology as it will provide you with a way to connect with attendees like never before. We look forward to seeing you at the NEC in September.
Med-Tech Innovation Expo will take place at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC), Birmingham, UK, from 28 – 29 September 2021. Visit https://med-techexpo.com/ for more information about the event.
