TMPR at Bett

/in , , /by

Last month, the TMPR team took a trip to London to attend the Bett (British Educational Training and Technology) Show. For one of our clients Promethean, it is an event that is 365 days in planning, every year. This was my first time at Bett, so I was keen to explore the new and existing products on the education market as well as see the year-long plan come together for Promethean.

In the ExCel in London, the Bett Show showcases everything that is new and exciting in the world of EdTech, so this year I went to see what Promethean had to offer and to explore the new innovations coming to market!

From robots, to entirely interactive lessons – the technology wasn’t like this when I was in school! It was interesting to see how technology is being embraced in the classroom and used to better enhance the learning materials available to students.

On stand, Promethean were looking to teachers and students to share their #ClassroomStories in their video booth. In a hunt for inspiring, funny or motivational memories, a Promethean ActivPanel was up for grabs for the winning story!

Also, I was lucky enough to have a chat with Sergey Karjakin, the youngest ever chess Grandmaster, who has been working with Promethean to promote chess in the classroom. Recently made compulsory in Moscow, Sergey was talking about the benefits of chess and how it can help children improve their logic.

Exclusively, for VIPs, Promethean also had preview demonstrations available in the Platinum Suite of the next version of ActivPanel that is currently in development – so watch this space!

Exploring Product Innovation at UK Construction Week

/in /by

The Technical Marketing & PR team recently visited Birmingham’s NEC to attend UK Construction Week – the largest construction trade show in the UK, showcasing innovation from all sectors.

UK Construction Week included the Build Show, Timber Expo, HVAC, and many more interesting expos all under the construction umbrella. With over 650 exhibitors, it was interesting to see so many new and exciting products being introduced to market.

Some of our clients were exhibiting at UK Construction Week, including ROCKWOOL and SIG Performance Technology. ROCKWOOL embraced technology on its stand, providing a variety of interactive and immersive activities that allowed visitors to understand its products through augmented reality and physical experience. SIG Performance Technology utilised UK Construction Week as an opportunity to launch and promote a range of new products that have come to market from AIM and Euroform.

After working on product launch PRs for SIG Performance Technology and marketing content for ROCKWOOL, it was brilliant to get up close to the products and see the marketing materials we helped create at such an iconic event for the construction industry.

If you would like to see what ROCKWOOL and SIG Performance Technology had to offer, we were on hand with our camera equipment to showcase their stands and find out more about their new products.
