If you would like to contact an exhibitor directly, please click on the exhibitor's profile and select "Contact This Exhibitor".  This will send an email directly to the exhibitor.

Please note, exhibitors do not have access to Connect @ and therefore will not be able to send messages to you via this tool.  If you would like the exhibitor to reply to your message please remember to include your contact email address.

All messages you send to Connect @ users will appear in Your Messages alongside all messages sent direct to you.



All your messages will be date ordered, with the most recent conversation at the top of the page. Click on the subject line to read the full conversation. Each conversation will contain both your messages and the other users messages.

Unread messages can be noted by a closed envelope icon.

If an existing conversation is updated, either by you sending a new message or the other user replying, the conversation will move to the top of Your Messages. An existing conversation with a new message will appear with a number next to the user's name and the envelope icon will be closed .

Clicking on the name or photo of the sender will take you to view that person's profile where you can see more about them.

Within Your Favourites you can store any visitor, exhibitor or website information you want to keep track of.

But it doesn't stop there. You can add any page on the website, seminars, blogs, or show news stories.
On all these pages you will either see the words "add to your favourites" or the start icon .

You can go back and review your selected favourites at any time and even have them emailed to you.
