PLEASE NOTE: The prices and opportunities that follow will apply to the vast majority of potential clients, but, depending on the specific nature of your business/ service and its proximity to the SU Building, we reserve the right to apply higher charges and different conditions. This is particularly likely to be the case if you run a bar, nightclub, gym, or accommodation provider and is also likely to apply if you are booking on behalf of a national agency.
We also reserve the right to decline advertising and sponsorship opportunities to any individual or organisation if it would be contrary to our policies and general ethos. We will always offer a full written explanation if we decline your advertising request.
TUSU runs one main event (Freshers Monday) for commercial exhibitors to promote their services to students, capture data and even sell products (subject to permission from TUSU). This event regularly attracts 4,000 to 5,000 visits and can include over 30 exhibitors in the venue.
We also hope to offer a limited number of exhibition spaces to commercial partners at other daytime events through the first week of Freshers. However, we are currently prioritising our student groups at them, so if you are interested in attending them, we will add you to our waiting list and advise on spaces available nearer the time.

We hope to offer some commercial partners space at these events (which each regularly attract over 3,000 visits), but we are currently prioritising bookings from student groups. If you are interested in attending these as well as or instead of Freshers Monday, please let our staff know, and we will register your interest, then come back to you should space become available.
As well as the direct contact that comes from exhibition space at our fairs, you can also take advantage of a range of digital mediums to promote your services to students. This can be booked as part of a package, also including exhibition space, or separately from/ in place of a space in the SU Building.
