Why exhibit at an ELRIG event?
Reach your customers both future and current

Networking Focus
All ELRIG events are structured to include plenty of networking breaks to maximize the amount of time our delegates spend with exhibitors. Even the refreshments are served in the Exhibition Hall so delegates have no reason to leave the area.
