Lamma 2024

What is the business model for exhibitors to attend such shows? Do they sell much as a reasult?

All those pens, pads, bags and that get picked up by kids has a cost to supply, does it sell much product?

Is it brand recognition?

I agree it terrible trying to navigate aroun, the app is useless as well

Seconded

I found it very difficult to navigate round efficiently, thought it could have been zoned better. Was only there to look at a few specific things, walked past lots of stands of no interest and no doubt missed lots that would have been.

Next year speak to the organisers and see if they can put all the stands your interested in in one hall to make it easier for you

Was anyone giving away woolly hats this year? I normally manage to scrounge a couple to replace the ones my dog runs off with over the winter, but I was so busy getting on with stuff this week while the frost is in that I didn't make it this year. (Because I registered for my ticket weeks ago, I wonder if I'll go in the statistics as an attendee?)
I may end up having to actually buy a hat at some point

It wasn’t very logical. We tried to go up and down so as not to miss anything; one minute you’d be on an alleyway then you’d be walking straight through a stand. At least at Cereals it’s nicely in rows; it’s more spread out and there’s no livestock gear getting in the way

 

[B R C]

I went through the entire list of exhibitors on my iPad because it’s too hard to do on your phone and then had to put the ones I’m interested in on the app on phone but at the show the map is too hard/slow to load, it doesn’t tell you which exhibitors you are interested in are in the same hall so you have to go through it all manually to work it out or you end up missing one and walking all the way back, not to mention trying to work out the numbering system…

Pased you toward the end of day two but you and Chris had all the cameras and stuff and looked in a bit of a rush so didn't stop you to say high, but as was said to Patrick swayze in the film road house
"I thought you'd be bigger ". .

are you sure it was a camera ?

Wasn't too difficult to walk around the edges where most of the small stands were and you could see the middle from either side, if something grabbed your attention go and see it then get back to the edge

Autonomous tractor from Agxeed, shame they they had a terrible stand, we were looking for them and walked straight by, I believe they have the only commercially working autonomous tractors working in the uk.

Had an unscheduled look round their factory in the summer. Its in the same large shed as a packing room than Prinzen took us to to look at their latest egg handling kit. The egg farmer has a share in the robotic tractor firm I believe.

Didn’t have time to ask many questions, but it seemed like an assembly room, presume the chassis manufacture etc was done elsewhere.

At the back of this picture you can see the eggs going up the conveyor!

I found the number marking for the stands was terrible couldnt work out where the stands were that i wanted to see.

I went to chalons in france and im so spoilt for expectations now.

Pasties are rubbish.

I want a sit down meal with a plethora or food and booze options at a minimum.
