Organised with public and private sector IT professionals in mind, the October event is intended to give attendees the opportunity to discuss the latest technologies to benefit businesses in the UK.

Plantronics will be another of the manufacturers present at the Expo, as will Dymo and Sanyo, the brains behind devices as varied as the TRC-6030 transcriber kit and the SCL-180H vacuum cleaner.

And Nuance, the brand responsible for both the Dragon 10 and the Omnipage 16 professional software, has also announced that its representatives will be on hand to offer advice.

If you’re an avid social networker, you’ll already know about the free delivery on Sharp’s AL2020 digital copier if you buy it on A1Stores before the end of the month.

And it turns out Twitter is the place more and more people are finding out about the best deals and offers out there.

The discount voucher code website SendMeDiscounts.co.uk carried out some research between June and August and found Twitter has become “a real goldmine” for bargain hunters.

As well as the Sharp AL2020 digital copier with its eco-friendly toner save mode, you can find details on the recession-busting Olympus DS40 digital voice recorder on A1Stores’ Twitter feed at the moment.

The Grundig Digtasonic420 digital recorder is a hand-held dictation device that has an Easy Mode – for those who’ve never used one before.

If you just want to dictate without all the extra bells and whistles, this is the product for you.

The straightforward function of the Digtasonic420 doesn’t mean it’s a low-rate item though it has a superior storage capacity and excellent audio quality according to the manufacturer.

A perfect present for a forgetful boss.
