Airspace World, an award winning event for airspace and near-space management, boasts an exciting launch story, having transitioned from launch to onsite in just six months. CANSO, with ambitious plans to significantly grow Airspace World in the coming years, sought event technology partners capable of scaling rapidly to support this expansion.

Agnes Krischik, experienced exhibition operations director and Show Director at CANSO explains why FFAIR continues as an indisputable choice as an exhibition management platform partner. 

"In my experience, OEMs are labour-intensive and can be expensive to build. I wasn’t thrilled at the prospect of sourcing a supplier who could facilitate this service for our imminent launch show. Time wasn’t on our side!

"Additionally, we needed to maintain continuous communication with our exhibitors over the six-month period, conveying venue and build information as we received it to our clients.

“We love that FFAIR puts the exhibition organiser back in charge. We can be proactive in how we respond to, and communicate with exhibitors. For example, if we receive numerous enquiries on a specific issue, we can swiftly adapt our manual to provide more information addressing that topic.

"With FFAIR, this adjustment can be made within minutes by the exhibition team, eliminating the need to wait for an external provider to update the manual for us. This agile approach has saved us countless hours, enabling us to keep exhibitors up-to-speed easily and without hassle.

“The automated reminders have been a game-changer, saving hours previously spent manually tracking spreadsheets and sending chaser emails. Plus, the reporting functionality integrated into Google Sheets assists the ops team in easily creating reports for our internal stakeholders.

“As we embark on subsequent show years with FFAIR, we can effortlessly copy our event set-up and update the manual with the new information ourselves, incurring no additional cost for amendments or setup. Exhibitors can also copy their information in the same streamlined fashion, simplifying their experience.

"What clinched it for us was the willingness and ease with which FFAIR integrated with other systems and platforms. It was essential for us to choose an event technology partner that facilitates straightforward integration. Additionally, they listen to our feedback, evident in the platform development roadmap incorporating our suggestions.

"I can’t recommend FFAIR enough to other exhibition organisers. The technology not only saves valuable time but also enables teams to move at speed, all with the assurance of receiving personal service from FFAIR to guide them on their journey."
