Why exhibit with ISS

The new format works

1

Weekday shows attract key audience: parents attend after school drop-off and adjust their work schedules to participate, ensuring strong engagement.

2

New format significantly reduces costs for schools: eliminates the need for stand builds, furniture rentals, and hotel expenses, making participation more cost-effective.

3

Strategic focus improves value for London parents: each ISS event is tailored to specific entry points, compelling London parents to visit.

4

Smaller, targeted events enhance engagement: schools connect with highly purposeful parents during crucial decision-making periods.

5

The Saturday shows target family audiences: making it easy for parents, grandparents and children to attend, preserving ISS's role as a gateway to the independent sector.
