For 2025, we’re replacing the familiar with a brand-new experience that provides unparalleled new business leads, where all attendees become active participants, thanks to a full schedule of one-to-one meetings.
All visitors will access a new meetings service and select which exhibitors they wish to meet, we’ll then manage your diary and book in the appointments for you, building your agenda.
Channel Live 2025 will place full emphasis on the buzz of networking rather than sales pitches and create an atmosphere of authentic engagement and valid discussion. A reimagined floorplan, new workshops, more roundtables; our vision is a vibrant hub of interaction and partnerships.
