AN EXHIBITION company has taken on Las Vegas with huge client, what3words.

Ellen has been flying to Las Vegas since 2022 for her client what3words, an innovative developer of location technology.

Be Exhibitions worked with the business to turn heads at the four days Consumer Electronics Show (CES) at the Vegas Convention Centre.

Its success prompted the exhibition company to be used again in 2023, 2024 and has already been booked for 2025.

Ellen said it was a ‘great achievement’ to work with what3words, especially at such a huge event in Vegas where the biggest names in the world exhibit.

She added that it is hugely important for businesses to be noticed, and crucial to have a stand that reflects the client.

“Success in Vegas is as big as it gets and for a small business in Fordingbridge it is quite a feat to have played a large part in that,” said Ellen.

Be Exhibitions also highlight the importance of sustainability by recycling everything it can as well as planting trees.

Giles Rhys Jones, CMO at what3words, said: “Be Exhibitions ensured the what3words booth really came to life at CES this year.

“The setup enabled a truly immersive experience, and there was something to do or look at everywhere you turned, capturing the attention of everyone, from passers-by to key clients and stakeholders.

“Complete with self-serve demos, an ecosystem wall, meeting rooms, vibrant signs, lighting and colour schemes - everyone could experience our technology exactly how they should, in an exciting and human way.

“Thanks to Ellen and her team, everything was underpinned by our shared commitment to sourcing sustainably, and we're looking forward to working with her again for 2025.”

Having turned over £650,000 in a year, Be Exhibitions is predicted to grow further throughout 2024 with Ellen saying the company is a great success.
