As ROI continues to be a focus of trade shows, so our partnership with Newbridge continues to grow. Diligent, professional and reliable to the core, in Newbridge we trust as we expand their services across more of the Nineteen portfolio.”

“Newbridge went above and beyond continuously to provide an exemplary matchmaking program at LEAP 2023, the world’s most-attended tech event. Prior to the event, their attention to detail and building of relationships with both investors and startups, ensured that the number of meetings delivered on site was considerably higher than the set target. Moreover, they adapted seamlessly to several last-minute requests and changes to schedules, which ensured that feedback was overwhelmingly positive.”

“I just wanted to extend my thanks for your efforts with the Hosted Buyer Programme. We are really delighted with the outcome which is a significant improvement in terms of unique buyers who took part. I have had lots of positive feedback regarding the meetings and the way everything was organised. Once again many thanks.”

“Newbridge are a fantastic company and have consistently delivered whenever I have worked with them - with projects ranging from content creation to 1-2-1 meetings programmes to due diligence projects. A class act.”

“We were introduced to Newbridge through REGO as we were looking for a professional, ambitious and specialist company to partner with us to provide a Hosted Buyers Programme for our recent Combined Naval Event. Newbridge exceeded our expectations not only in the delivery of the meetings programme which was a huge success, but also their professionalism and how they went above and beyond for our visitors and exhibitors both pre-show and onsite. Newbridge are the ideal partner for us and we will be doing much more with them across our portfolio of events so that we can continue to add layers of value to our shows. ”

“As we were celebrating out 10-year anniversary edition, we wanted to offer both our exhibitors and visitors a new initiative in the form of a Hosted Meetings/Buyers Programme. From the outset, working with Newbridge was incredibly easy, with the team at the end of the phone or email to offer guidance and ensure that the project ran to its set timelines. The feedback from visitors and exhibitors was positive and as a team, we were impressed with the number of meetings that were booked. We had limited expectations and were unsure how many meetings would be planned, given this being new to our audiences, but were very impressed with the numbers and quality of the meetings booked. I would highly recommend working with Newbridge if you are looking to improve or introduce a Hosted Meetings Programme to your exhibition and am confident, we will work with them on future shows.”

“Rego have had the pleasure of working in partnership with Newbridge Events for many years, with their Hosted Meeting Programmes. The whole Newbridge Team are exceptional at matchmaking clients with targeted, valuable and relevant customers. We have worked collaboratively to provide hosts for a personalised service, to deliver face-to-face meetings across the globe.

Newbridge Events provide a carefully curated programme to connect selected visitors with relevant buyers and exhibitors and it has been our absolute pleasure to work with such innovative - tech driven people, who care about the customer experience from start to finish.”

“Working with Newbridge was an amazing experience. Our program at CPHI North America achieved a 192% success rate onsite! We were on a compressed timeline and the Newbridge team pulled off a miracle with their buyer led matching program. The program was extremely helpful to buyers, helping them narrow their search to exactly which exhibitors were going to fit their needs. Setting up the program was seamless with the team’s knowledge and the data we received from them was invaluable. We will be expanding our program with Newbridge due to the extreme value add for our attendees and exhibitors.”

“We have found the Matchmaking programme at Black Hat MEA really beneficial. In this region it can be hard to get buyers to commit to coming to the show.
This programme allows our exposure to the buyers even if they don’t attend the show. We are making valuable connections through this programme.
We hope this programme is taking place next year. ”

“The hosted buyer programme has been great, people are coming to meetings with such imminent projects that every conversation has been successful. Every meeting has a purpose. Real buyers with real needs. Excellent!”

“The meetings with VIPs arranged by Newbridge have been so beneficial, we’ve managed to have 70+ high-level meetings in total with quality names who are ready to buy, not just speculative. Great job by the whole Newbridge team – thanks a lot!”

“Thank you to you and the team for your support with our meetings. Your professionalism was exceptional, very grateful for that. Hope we cross paths again in future events 🤞”

“I was dubious about the quality of people we’d get wanting to visit us and felt that that there would be a lot of ‘kerb-kickers’. This definitely wasn’t the case and we feel very positive about many of the leads we generated from them. Overall, I think it was something that worked really well for us.”

“Thanks for the support from the Newbridge team. Your management approach to ensuring meetings happened with those people we were due to meet with as well as other relevant parties made a big difference.
”

“In today’s quick to Dis society people are all too quick to criticize yet rarely take the time to comment on a job well done. Bounty Hunter recently attended the LEAP conference in Saudi which in and of itself was an outstanding event. I have attended many events across the Middle East in my 15 years here and yet I must admit that, thanks in a large part to your efforts, this was by far the most enjoyable and fruitful. Despite being inundated constantly with constant traffic and sheer volume of requests the team was always a beacon of calm authority and tremendous assistance and left us with nothing other than a positive impression of friendly personas and exceptionally pro-active attitudes. ”

“Exceptional event. The meeting organizers/team did a phenomenal job and I will definitely be back next year. The support and VIP room were fantastic. Thanks to all that helped.”

“I would certainly recommend the service provided by your team. It offered a better use of my time to have pre-arranged meetings with vendors that matched my areas of interest and meant I was able to achieve maximum value from my time at the event. The meetings you arranged were all tailored to my requirements and the way in which you and your team organised and kept us informed was courteous and professional throughout. I would have no hesitation in using the service again. Thanks for all your efforts!”

“Excellent!”

“Great service. The meetings were completely relevant to what I was trying to achieve. The team were super friendly. I would recommend your service to anyone.”

“Even though I had some meetings and objectives prearranged, I found the hosted buyer initiative very valuable. I learned a lot and the programmed meetings engaged me with potential partners I would not ordinarily consider. The organisation and communication were well directed but also very friendly, flexible and personal. It maximised the event for me and I am positively following through with some of the contacts I was introduced to. I would seriously recommend this programme to get the most from what can be a mix – and to connect with value add discussions/partners.”

“Perfect – spent time with relevant exhibitors and kept it specific.”

“Perfect meeting matches. I already have a follow-up meeting booked with one of the exhibitors.”

“A big thank you for all your help both before and during the expo!”
