Are you participating in the fair gadget?

For many visitors, the trade show gadget is one of the reasons to come to the WoTS. With such high expectations, the bar is set high for exhibitors. This year, participants in the gadget project unanimously chose the environmental monitor: a device that measures airborne gases and noise, among other things. The design is almost complete, the bill of materials has been established, but we are still looking for enthusiastic exhibitors to sponsor the monitor.

Benefits for you

Exhibitors who contribute to the fair gadget have an edge at the fair. You benefit from the free publicity surrounding the gadget. Experience shows that news about the trade show gadget is well received by our media partners and the public. This results in a continuous flow of press coverage, allowing visitors to repeatedly learn about your company in the run-up to the trade show.

Visitors collect the various parts of the gadget themselves at the booths. This creates a great opportunity to get people excited about your products or services as well as to meet potential customers.

But not only the contact with the WoTS audience is a plus, networking with (con)colleagues in the gadget project group also provides benefits. You work with other exhibitors on a fun and useful product that has been successful at the fair for years. By sharing your knowledge and expertise, you position your company as a specialist within the field.

What is your investment?

There are several options for being involved in the gadget as a sponsor. Want to know more about the options and costs? Then contact project manager Melvin Brink.

Sign up for the High Tech Trophy

As an exhibitor, how do you bring your new technology or innovation to the attention of visitors and trade press? You can do so with the High Tech Trophy! Do you have a novelty that you would like to show during the WoTS and that you think deserves the coveted prize? Then register via the entry form.

All entries will get attention on our website and will be included in the communication to (potential) fair visitors. In addition, our media partners publish articles on their platforms about the High Tech Trophy.

If your product or technology makes a demonstrably positive contribution to sustainability, you have a chance of winning the Green High Tech Trophy.

Fast deciders have an extra advantage. If you submit your novelty before May 31, you are sure to be included in the communication on our website and through our media partners. The final closing date is August 31. Until then, you can still submit your novelty, your entry will be posted on our website and you have a chance to be nominated.

The winners

Our expert jury evaluates all novelties prior to the fair. The four nominees present their novelty on the fair floor in an attractively designed gallery. Until Thursday afternoon, visitors can vote for their favorite in each category. During the exhibitor drinks on Thursday, September 26, the fair organization will announce the winner per world and the winner of the Green High Tech Trophy.
