Students Live returms to Olympia in September
Posted by
Students Live, the biggest student show in the UK, will return in September at London’s Olympia National Hall.
The event, run by UCAS Media and now in its second year, gives brands the chance to connect with 10,000 freshers and returning students.
Students Live 2012 takes place over two days, Friday 7 and Saturday 8 September. This is the optimum time for reaching new students, once places at university have been confirmed but before students arrive on campus.
The event is designed to prepare students for university – whether embarking on their first term or their final year. The show will give students the chance to:
-
get discounts – on essential student kit
-
seek advice – on employment, travel, money and more
-
have fun – with live music, competitions and exclusive video game previews
-
have their say – in a special student edition of Question Time
Jo Redfern, UCAS commercial director, said: “This really is a unique opportunity for brands to engage with new university students before term starts. We’re expecting over 10,000 students to come through the doors and they’ll all be looking for the best deals.”
After listening to feedback UCAS Media has improved this year’s show to include exhibitor zones, performance areas and a food hall. Guest speakers will also be presenting on finance, making the most of their university experience and other student centric topics.
The full website launches on 1 May at www.studentslive.co.uk
