BETT 20-23 Jan 2016: Who is thinking of going?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

After X amount of years of spending Christmas/January thinking about BETT in one shape or another. Have to say it is very strange not to think about it at all. I won't be down but will be keeping eye on internet to see the latest etc.. :)

For all those attending BETT, come and visit the Net-Ctrl team on stand C63 for a chance to win Ruckus dogs and our grand prize of Star Wars LEGO. All you need to do is bring your entry slip with you and hand it to a member of our team. This is exclusively for EduGeek members and our customers only.

 

We will also have a host of great tech to see from Ruckus Wireless, iboss, MOBOTIX, Traka, Aperio and more :)

 

More competition information is on our other thread: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/our-advertisers/164209-join-net-ctrl-bett-chance-win-ruckus-dogs-star-wars-lego.html

If I enter, am I going to get a bunch of spam emails and phone calls?

I mean, I'm cool with having a working relationship with suppliers, but A) I don't have budget control and B) I prefer to come to you when I need something, none of this "Look at our new service" emails or phone calls to "touch base"..

That's a fair question @Garacesh. No, there is no planned follow-up based on this competition. It's more a way to get Edugeek members and our customers to come and see us and what we now offer, even if it's just briefly to drop off their entry.

 

You would only receive a follow-up post BETT if you speak with a member of our team, ask for information after the show and allow one of our team to scan you. Otherwise your details would not be scanned and you wouldn't be followed-up with after the show.

Does anyone else have a rule that any company wanting to 'touch base' is automatically put on the ignore list along with PPI people

 

or is that just me

 

Absolutely!

Yup, I have a list of 3 companies listed in reception that are allowed to get calls through to me, the rest just get given the "He's not in his office at the moment, have you tried emailing him" routine (I love our receptionists). According to one salesman ranting on the phone the other week, it's easier to get an audience with the Pope than it is to get in and see me. I took that as a compliment :)

At VeryPC we don't 'touch base' we like to catch up over a coffee... on that note if anyone would like to touch base.......

 

But if you're "roaming the site" how do we catch you?

Perhaps we could make a Very PC trap and bait it with Edugeek socks.

I can confirm i will be at BETT Wednesday. I will be wearing my Welcome To Valhalla top that I won from @VeryPC , so i should be slightly noticeable! along with the ginger hair.

 

Shame i shaved my beard the other day, didn't think that one through....

I possibly, maybe, have a chance to go to BETT during the week... If the stars align and the Network Manager can convince the school to let me go.

Changed from Friday to Thursday.

 

You'll miss me too. I have a funeral to go to on Thursday so will be nipping home for the day.

 

For those of you coming thursday (and friday as he's staying an extra day) You'll get the - dubious - pleasure of meeting Mr Jim Pilling, our most esteemed member of the trade sales team.

 

To help you spot him in the crowd, he looks a little bit like this!

Ask him about his Electric Socks (he has a song about them), his love for Burnley FC, & how he nearly burnt a hotel in Paris down after he'd pocketed his pipe without knocking the embers out.
