Meet the Founder

Lee Ali
Founder & Managing Director

Hi there! I’m Lee Ali, an ardent advocate of the wonderful world of human-to-human connectivity. With a background rich in experience across the world of communications, from the world of cable television, mobile telecommunications, and game show production, I’ve always found myself gravitating towards opportunities where I can connect, engage, and make a meaningful impact across the world.

My passion? It’s all about creating those genuine human-to-human connections that cause a ripple effect and build meaningful relationships. Whether it’s through providing strategy, delivering training or providing high level enggagement professionals to our clients, I believe in the power of a smile, a kind word, and the magic that happens when people come together and connect on a deep level.

When I’m not busy on the show floor or delivering workshops, you’ll find me watching Manchester United, travelling around the world, at a motor racing track, at a rock concert or hiking in nature. I am also a qualified Reiki practitioner.  My mantra is simple – connect, engage, and uplift. Let’s make the world a smaller, friendlier, and more connected place, one interaction at a time!

Our Methodology

TEO (Tradeshow Engagement Optimisation) is our proven success framework honed and proven in the field across thousands of exhibitions.

In halls full of exhibitors, each claiming they have the best product or service, the stark truth emerges; without a robust exhibition engagement strategy, your booth is just another face in the crowd.

Enter TEO: your secret to elevated exhibition performance. It’s designed to help you make sure your booth attracts high-quality traffic and that your team has the right exhibition engagement skills to increase your chance of converting visitors into highly qualified leads.

The TEO principles are the backbone of the CPD accredited education we provide to our clients.

Socially responsible – Across the Globe

Many companies talk a big game about sustainability, using ‘green’ materials for their booths, but then they just throw them away after the show. At the same time, they fly their teams across the world to get there.

 

We see the bigger picture

  • Our remote exhibiting approach not only cuts down on those air miles but also bolsters the local community. We champion the use of local suppliers and promotional talent who can promote your business just as effectively, if not more, than flown-in staff. 
  • We also offer interactive lead-engagement tools that you can use to reduce paper waste. These unique tools can be used at live, hybrid and virtual events, including webinars. 
  • Offer your people sustainable alternatives: to progress, develop and grow. That’s why we share our learnings with our community – through training opportunities, free tools and a knowledge hub full of expert insight and advice.
