Nicholas Rudd-Jones, MD Local Living Ltd

"I thought there was a good range of topics and I thought the angles were nicely balanced. Clearly there is a huge gulf between the personal anecdote and the strategic tip, so I think all bases covered."

What exhibitors said:

"MagazineCloner.com attends many Publishing shows each year both in Europe and beyond, but yet again the Specialist Media Show is our most productive. In fact, I had a meeting this morning with a major publisher as a direct result of exhibiting and they have just signed on the dotted line!
The recent show was the second time we have attended and again we have picked up more business at your show than we have at many of the big international ones... for considerably less money!
I would therefore have no hesitation in recommending the Specialist Media Show to anyone involved in Publishing... and please can you reserve us the same space for 2012!"

Ian Remmer, Sales Director, Magazine Cloner

"The show was very successful for us. We got some extremely good leads with a couple looking like they'll produce business pretty soon."

David Nutt, Response Consulting

'SMS 2011 gave us the opportunity to talk to key players about how, when it comes to the legals, it pays to work with lawyers who understand and have real experience of the sector. It's not always easy to fix up those discussions - SMS 2011 provided a great vehicle for us to get our message across.'

David Woods, Director and Media Specialist, Greenwoods Solicitors LLP

"Well done to all the team on an impressive and well organised show. With the impressive line-up of speakers, and the carefully targeted audience, this show is sure to be a success for us for years to come. We're looking forward to next year."

Reena Mistry, Marketing Director, Adestra

'We found the SMS show to be a perfect stage for us to showcase our wide range of specialist media solutions and came away having made a number of very good connections. We particularly like the fact that all the visitors we met were all what we would consider perfect prospective clients which was good for us as an exhibitor and of course the visitors. A genuinely successful event for Silvertoad!'

Toma Habashi, Director, Silvertoad
