Smarter Events, Stronger Connections: What’s New at GovNet This Autumn
At GovNet, we are committed to helping you get the most from every event. This autumn, we are introducing improvements designed to make your experience faster, more efficient and more rewarding.
From easier access and better lead management to fresh opportunities for growth, here is what you can expect at DigiGov Expo (24–25 September), HETT Show (7–8 October) and SAAS Birmingham (19–20 November).
Faster Entry and Less Waiting with Apple Wallet Badges
To help you get on site quickly and without hassle, we are introducing Apple Wallet-compatible digital badges starting at DigiGov Expo in September.
With this option you will be able to:
Access your badge instantly on your phone
Breeze through check-in points with a simple scan
Avoid queues and reduce waiting time
Keep your badge easily accessible throughout the event
Paper badges will remain available for those who prefer a physical copy. This new digital option gives you flexibility and speed, making your arrival and movement around the event smoother.
Real-Time Lead Access on Your Mobile Device
We know managing leads on the day can be a challenge. That is why we are launching mobile access to the Exhibitor Centre via the GovNet app.
Now you can:
Access and export leads live on your mobile device, wherever you are on the show floor
Share leads quickly and securely with your team members
Respond immediately to meeting requests and messages
Monitor your stand’s performance without needing to leave the floor
This mobile capability means you can stay organised, responsive and fully in control throughout the event.
Stand Out and Maximise Your Impact with Our New Exhibitor Guide
To help you attract more attention and generate better results, we have created a comprehensive guide for exhibitors:

This guide provides practical advice on:
Designing an eye-catching stand and clear messaging
Reaching your target audience before the event starts
Following up with leads to turn conversations into opportunities
Using proven strategies from successful exhibitors
Whether you are new to GovNet events or a seasoned exhibitor, this resource will help you maximise your presence and ROI.
Invest in the Future with the GovNet Internship Programme
At HETT Show 2025, we are launching a new internship programme aimed at building a dedicated VIP acquisitions team to improve how we engage senior NHS and Government stakeholders.
This initiative will:
Bring fresh talent and energy to GovNet events
Ensure VIP guests receive personalised, high-quality support
Provide valuable career opportunities for early-stage professionals
This programme will ensure that each event has a more connected and focused VIP experience, creating greater value for exhibitors and attendees alike.
