We would like to thank you and the rest of the Exhibitions Group team for organising the School Resources Expo. We had a good time there and received a lot of quality leads.
Look forward to being at the Expo again next year.

My company had a successful show and, in addition to dozens of hand-outs of business cards and brochures, we separately recorded 30 written enquiries wanting us to contact them in the next week to discuss immediate business opportunities.
The potential sales value of those written enquiries we recorded would exceed $250,000 and includes six separate campuses which require complete ‘signage changeovers throughout their campuses, and many other enquiries for signage exceeding $5,000 per site.

Why Exhibit?
Education professionals have more autonomy in choice and recommendation of product purchasing within institutions. Long gone are the days when professionals were subject to limited catalogue purchasing and pricing structures that quickly became obsolete. Education professionals now have the autonomy to research what suits their requirements best, and purchase based on these needs.
Education Today
The Victorian Schools Plan is the Victorian Government’s 10-year plan to transform Victorian schools by funding and rebuilding, renovating or extending of all government schools by 2016-17.
The Victorian Government recognises the powerful impact that school design has on both student outcomes and innovative teaching. Through the Victorian Schools Plan, children will benefit from high quality educational facilities and infrastructure.
$1.9 billion is being invested to rebuild, renovate or extend 500 schools by 2011. $402 million was announced in the May 2009 budget and is being spent on 113 schools on 113 schools over the next year. $6.2 billion in funding for primary and secondary non-government schools from State and Federal Governments in Australia.
$19.9 billion for Government schools. $26.1 billion in total for primary and secondary schools. (source Productivity Commission and DEST)
What Does all of this mean?
In the current economic environment, Education is one of the most secure industries to conduct business. Advertising dollars need to be spent in areas where they receive the most return on investment. The Federal and State Governments are implementing stimulus into education to not only create more jobs, but also raise the standard of education in Australia.
The School Resources Expo is the vehicle where your company may realise this stimulus.
