They provide us with a multi-faceted and comprehensive CRM tool that has been invaluable and endlessly adaptable to meet the needs of a global exhibition. The CRM platform has been revelatory in delivering a cost-effective marketing solution, facilitating networking opportunities for blue-chips and SMEs, and collating data to enable new business development. The systems are as efficient and easy to use by exhibitors and visitors and have made life considerably easier for the Farnborough International exhibitions team.

“DSEi has operated under D2i Systems since the show started in 1999, with the company offering us everything we need to deliver the show – from a strong sales and marketing database through registration, exhibitor network and financials. They offer an excellent and continually evolving CRM tool and a complete package for exhibitions. The systems are as efficient and easy to use by exhibitors and visitors as they are by the DSEi team, and we hope to continue our relationship with D2i long into the future.”
“D2i provided a smooth running operation for one of FIVE's major events. The database and badging system used was flawless and combined with the team's experience and dedication contributed to an extremely successful event.
