An exclusive, globally proven service – refined over 12 years and more than 500 events – delivered in collaboration with 38 of the world’s most prestigious brands across Automotive, Transport, Construction, Civil Aerospace, and Defence.

The desktop exhibition area is an “open all day / drop in” style area that the manufacturers staff can visit as and when time allows.

Alongside the desktop exhibition area some suppliers will run fixed time “technical workshops” that are based on the theme of the event and we also give the manufacturer the choice to pick the subject, these sessions are typically a deep dive in to a technical topic of interest.

In addition some suppliers will have what we call a “Connect Zone” this is either a private areas within the event or meeting room that allows suppliers and manufacturer to have pre arranged and ad-hoc meetings for more confidential conversations.
Motiv8 is proud to say that every manufacturer we’ve formally proposed this service to has adopted it. Even more impressive is the fact that every single one has continued to run events 1-2 times a year indefinitely thereafter.
Manufacturers consistently refer us internally to other sites around the world due to the success of these days, in addition when our contacts move companies they take our service with them.








The reality is the working world has changed dramatically in recent years, but traditional trade-shows / exhibitions haven’t changed in over 100 years.
Now more than ever before manufacturers simply don't have time to send staff to endless offsite events trying to find things of interest, not to mention the vast costs associated with doing this.
Motiv8 offers a smarter, more efficient alternative - on your premises..
“Genius”
“The best use of our time for meeting new suppliers”
“The buzz around these days from staff is incredible”
“Simple and highly beneficial concept”
“A day of surprise and delight”
“Fantastic opportunity for supplier engagement in the office!”
“Staff don’t have time to leave the office, having this here is a huge benefit”
(Quotes from Directors of Engineering, Procurement, and Board Members)
Firstly many manufacturers run what they call “supplier days” / “tech days” etc, which is when the manufacturer invites in current suppliers to show them what they already provide them, thats exactly what Motiv8 doesn’t do.
Secondly we follow a proven methodology from start to finish that is transferable to any industry with any product offering. We have been running this style of event for over 10 years, without a single complaint or issue. Nothing but positives for all involved parties.
Thirdly Motiv8 fully arranges and delivers the entire event end to end, including providing all the material and best practice to promote the event internally, this includes creating a private event page within our platform. If participating suppliers are required to complete visitor forms, NDA’s etc Motiv8 will also take care of this on behalf of the manufacturer as well.
Our process starts with Motiv8 understanding your locations activities.
Next we work with you to understand what products / services / technologies / innovations etc you are interested in, this is captured via a private dedicated capture form we provide, this gives us a brief.
Within capturing this brief you can also share with us any suppliers by name you are interested in and also any by name you are not!.
In addition you have the option to re-direct suppliers to Motiv8, for example if a supplier contacts you wishing to meet, you can send them to us and avoid endless 1-2-1 meetings on multiple days and just see everyone in one place on one day.
Using the brief Motiv8 will then find suppliers from our global community network that matches and also have an interest in the event, in addition we will bring in suppliers that have an interest in you and feel they have something to show / share etc.
All in one day, all in one place and all without leaving the workplace.
Motiv8 fully arrange, coordinate and deliver the entire offering end to end, this includes all communications and arrangements between us and the attending suppliers and then between us and you the manufacturer.
Motiv8 work with you the manufacturer to arrange, promote and deliver the event, this includes us providing a private dedicated online event HUB, this starts out as a placeholder with all the initial event information, an “add to calendar” function, a from to refer suppliers of interest and request the inclusion of commodities of interest.
Around 6 weeks before the event the HUB then connects to the dedicated event page, this then shows the attending suppliers with full information about them and information of what they will be showing / presenting etc.
In addition we then provide dedicated pull up banners that we display onsite with a QR code that directs people to the event page, also images for onsite TV screens / Intranet etc and any custom banners, posters etc for any noticeboards etc, also A5 event booklets, all of which have QR codes taking people back to the made event page, everything we create for the manufacturer and just for internal use, we don’t share this information outside of the manufacturer, not even with the participating suppliers.
We also share best practice on what to share, when to share it and how best to share it etc.
When it comes to event delivery this is where Motiv8 takes poll position with its “military style” (to quote one OEM) level of organisation and delivery, we operate to level that is far stricter and more complexed than any manufacturer requests from us, this is to ensure seamless and faultless delivery of the event and the bringing on and off site of the suppliers and event equipment etc.
We operate a zero tolerance and compliance procedure when it comes to brining suppliers staff on and off site, all of which have to undergo a Motiv8 event participation induction prior to joining our events, then agree to our terms and conditions of operation upon arrival and wear our identification lanyards before we allow anyone onsite (11 years and over 500 events held in some of the most complicated and challenging locations around the world without a single negative issue, in fact our delivery method is used as a benchmark by one of the worlds largest automotive brands).
In most cases Motiv8 takes complete ownership of the on and off site security arrangements so as to remove this burden from the manufacturer, we have our own digital check in system that quickly allows us to share with site security who is onsite etc.
Motiv8 work directly with site staff in facilities to cover all the practical arrangements with the event space, covering all aspects around location of desks, power, fire exits etc, we also provide event strategies with floor plans, risk assessments, method statements etc.
All our events have a "day before” set up, this ensures Motiv8 has the time to arrange the space ahead of the suppliers coming in to set up, typically this works as Motiv8 setting up the space in the morning and then brining suppliers onsite to set up in afternoon in groups, this also ensures on the morning of the event everything is 100% set ready to go with no disruption.
Our events typically end at around 15.00 / 16.00 on the day and everything and everyone is removed that day.
Each event we run is completely unique to that day for that manufacturer and subject to the event location inside the manufacturer this can involve anything from 15 - 80 Suppliers.

What does this service cost you the manufacturer? Well maybe we have saved the best to last...
The complete service Motiv8 provides to the manufacturer as outlined above is totally Free of any cost.
We have a commercial arrangement with the suppliers who become members of our service. Should a supplier connect with you as a result of the introduction from a Motiv8 event we are not connected to this commercial arrangement between the supplier and you the manufacturer in any way.
