EXHIBITION, BRANDING AND SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

13 - 16 MAY ARENA AND CONFERENCE

CENTRE, LIVERPOOL

RCN CONGRESS EXHIBITION 2017

Janet Davies

Chief Executive & General Secretary

of the RCN

I am delighted to announce our plans for RCN Congress Exhibition, which will be held from 13–16 May 2017 in Liverpool, where we will welcome thousands of nurses, midwives, health care assistants and nursing students to learn, develop and share nursing practice.

The exhibition is an integral part of Congress and greatly adds to the overall experience of the event. For our members to meet, network and engage with such a broad portfolio of exhibitors including health care providers, NHS Trusts, training organisations, medical device companies, publishers and universities over three days is a fantastic opportunity.

Congress provides an unrivalled platform for engagement, networking, and communication with the nursing community who are all passionate about the commitment to improve practice and patient outcomes.

With the increasing drive for health care efficiencies, engaging with a nursing audience is more important than ever. At Congress 2016 we saw a growing number of nurses involved in procurement initiatives, with over half of our delegates confirming that current or anticipated involvement would increase.

Your support is very much valued and I look forward to meeting with you in Liverpool.

We return to Liverpool in 2017. For exhibitors this offers one large exhibition hall right across the corridor from the Congress debating hall, ensuring maximum traffic and delegate interaction. And when you have a bit of time off, there’s the lively Merseyside Maritime Museum and Tate Liverpool on the doorstep as well as many restaurants and bars.

In the last ten years our highest delegate numbers have been recorded in Liverpool and we are building on this strong base for Congress 2017. The RCN has a high percentage of members in the Liverpool and surrounding areas and this makes for fantastic local support of the event.

Join over 100 exhibitors, many of whom are coming back to Liverpool.

WHO EXHIBITS?

Having a stand at RCN Congress gave us the opportunity to meet,

speak to, and be inspired by nurses from across the UK who represented the breadth of nursing roles in terms of organisations, disciplines and seniority. These engagements confirmed to us that nurses are at the forefront of making change happen through their personal commitment to improving the services they provide and, from the volume of requests for advice and guidance we received, that there is an overwhelming level of need for the support available through the service improvement and transformational change programmes we provide.

CONGRESS DELEGATES

2016 was our first time exhibiting at the RCN Congress and we were

very impressed. The layout of the stands and the space between them was spot on and I feel helped to generate a relaxed, friendly, collaborative atmosphere.

The range of delegates was broad and we generated a significant interest in our lone working solution at all levels leading to a good number of meetings with Trusts since the event.

Jobtrac, Congress exhibitor 2016

LimbO Waterproof Protectors have now enjoyed being involved

with the RCN Congress for four years. For a company wanting to share their products with a wide range of nationwide nursing teams at one event, the RCN Congress can’t be beaten. The professional team behind the organisation are great and ensure a smooth lead up and we can’t wait for Liverpool 2017.

elements of shell scheme but these

stands do not include flooring which you
