Hello and welcome to this podcast telling you about our annual business exhibition. This year, as always, it will be full of the very best speakers, features and innovations.

大家好，欢迎收听本期播客，为您介绍我们一年一度的商务展览。今年和往常一样，将汇集最优秀的演讲嘉宾、特色亮点和创新成果。

Let me start by reading some feedback from James Craig, who's exhibited with us for the past two years.

首先，请允许我读一段来自詹姆斯·克雷格的反馈，过去两年他都参加了我们的展览。

James says, 'I'm director of a company called TalkCon, which is an office phone system. The first year we exhibited, we had a stand in the Business Village, where we made a lot of useful contacts.

詹姆斯说："我是一家名为TalkCon的公司的总监，我们做的是办公电话系统。第一年参展时，我们在商业村设了一个展位，在那里建立了许多有价值的联系。"

We also used the Breakout area where people could sit down and relax, and try out our products, and due to popular request we used that again last year. [0:50.80]Last year we also sponsored the innovative Business Connections Zone where people could leave their contact details on a board to contact other companies, and that also effectively raised our corporate profile.

我们还使用了休息区，人们可以坐下来放松，并试用我们的产品。由于广受欢迎，去年我们再次使用了那个区域。去年我们还赞助了富有创新性的商业对接区，人们可以在公告板上留下自己的联系方式，以便与其他公司接洽，这也有效提升了我们的企业形象。

We're hoping that in the coming exhibition, we'll also have a presence in the digital marketing centre, which is clearly a key area for our company and also maybe have our own talk con zone at some stage.

我们希望在即将到来的展览中，也能在数字营销中心占有一席之地，这显然是我们公司的一个关键领域，或许有朝一日还能拥有我们自己的TalkCon专区。

The exhibition's open from 8am to 11pm and there's a range of special events for you to enjoy in the evening. As well as a unique chance to publicise your company, businesses who exhibit with us can claim discounts on a number of popular brands, including major high street fashion and jewellery outlets, as well as grocery chains.

展览从上午8点开放至晚上11点，晚间还有一系列特别活动供您享受。除了获得宣传公司的独特机会外，参展企业还能享受多个知名品牌的折扣，包括主要的商业街时尚和珠宝门店，以及连锁杂货店。

Discounts available range from 3.5% up to an amazing 15%, so you can save a lot of money.

可享的折扣幅度从3.5%到令人惊叹的15%不等，因此可以为您节省不少开支。

In fact, the average saving made by each exhibitor came to over £400! The scheme is available to every member of your organisation so this is a benefit that really does have something for you all.

事实上，每位参展商平均节省的金额超过400英镑！这一福利适用于贵公司的每一位成员，因此，这项优惠真的能让你们所有人都从中获益。

Now let me tell you about some of our keynote speakers for this year's exhibition.

现在，让我为您介绍今年展览的几位主旨演讲嘉宾。

Jim Clowrie started off selling vegetables from a small plot, then opened a small café. Rather to his surprise this became a bit of a sensation, and in a remarkably short time he had opened an amazing 76 restaurants worldwide.
