When thousands of visitors, exhibitors, and businesses come together for one of the UK’s most prestigious agricultural events, connectivity isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s essential. From contactless payments to live presentations and guest WiFi, reliable communications can make or break the experience for both organisers and attendees.
At Inotec Solutions, we specialise in providing resilient event connectivity and communications support in even the most challenging locations. In the summer of 2024, and again in 2025, we had the privilege of supporting the Great Yorkshire Show at the Harrogate showground. Here’s how we helped keep people connected.
The Challenge: Connectivity at Scale
The Great Yorkshire Show attracts tens of thousands of people each year, making it one of the largest agricultural events in Europe. With so many visitors it isn’t long before any available networks start to struggle with the volume of traffic. For our customer, the priority is that their members and guests don’t suffer from the connectivity challenges faced by the masses:
- Reliable WiFi for exhibitors and attendees
- Internet access for their POS card machines
- Audio support for presentations and talks with a clear public address system for announcements and Q&A sessions
In short, the organisers needed a partner who could deliver seamless connectivity, event communications, and technical support from start to finish.
Our Solution: A Fully Managed Event Communications Service.
We deployed our multi system self-contained communications trailer to the Harrogate showground, providing the Country Land and Business Association (CLA) corporate area with resilient internet access and managed WiFi coverage.
Our team also:
- Installed a public address system to ensure speakers and audience questions could be heard clearly.
- Managed network distribution across the CLA’s venue to support exhibitors and staff.
- Provided on-site technical support, ensuring smooth operation throughout the event.
This allowed guests to stay connected with their businesses while enjoying the show, and helped the organisers deliver a professional, reliable experience.
The Impact: A Better Experience for Everyone
By taking the stress of communications and technology off the organisers’ shoulders, we helped ensure that:
- Vendors could process sales and stay online without disruption.
- Guests enjoyed fast, reliable WiFi during their visit.
- Organisers had a dependable partner managing the technical side, allowing them to focus on running the event.
Presenters and speakers could deliver talks with confidence, knowing their messages were being heard loud and clear.
Why Connectivity Matters for Events
From weddings and farm sales to sports competitions and national shows, reliable communications are now a critical part of event planning. Guests expect WiFi, vendors rely on card payment systems, and organisers need secure networks to keep everything running smoothly.
