Not BETT at 2001!
BETT is the big one. 25,000 visitors over four days. Three-hundred-and-sixty exhibitors. Journalists, Cabinet Ministers (Gillian Shephard once spent 20 minutes on my stand and I was interviewed by Eddie the Eagle). Awards: won a few and just missed last year. Fun: the Inclusive Big Night Out at BETT is always a hot ticket...
So why aren't we going in January 2001?

The view from Inclusive's window
Each weekday 5,300 of you hit this site (7,500 at weekends) – a welcome to you. Of the weekday hits, 500 visitors stay long enough to be classed as “users” and in their “user sessions” they mooch about for an average of 11 minutes 30 seconds each. Multiplied up you users spend 5,750 of your earth minutes with us each day. A staggering 95 hours per day of your attention.
