All systems go for Event Production Show

The Event Production Show is on target for the largest number of exhibitors in its 20-year history. Taking place from 2nd–3rd February 2011, the Event Production Show has become recognised as the pre-eminent showcase for professionals involved in Europe’s live event sector.

2010 saw the show’s footprint increase by 1500 sq metres and confirmed bookings for 2011 already reflect a 5% uplift in exhibitors year-on-year. Being staged in Olympia’s Grand Hall in London, the exhibition attracts the wide scope of companies that make up the live event sector; from contractors and the supply chain to festival organisers, concerts, exhibitions, corporate events and experiential marketing through to televised spectaculars.

Confirmed exhibitors for 2011 include Ascot Structures, 360 Creative Events Services, De Boer, Soundstage One and Q Dos Event Hire. The highly targeted visitors and their associated buying power has meant Sunbaba, National Radio Bank and Star Events have remained loyal exhibitors to the show year after year.

2011’s Event Production Show will build upon its strategy of offering event professionals a specialist forum to discuss best practices and to preview progressive technologies and services for the industry. Specialist interest zones and a covetable speaker programme will draw attendees responsible for the planning and execution of some of the UK’s most prolific events and have previously included Imagination, Jack Morton, RPM, Live Nation, Coca-Cola and Wembley.

Sarah Brownlee, spokesperson for the Event Production Show said: “The UK event sector is in transition as we get ready to produce some of the highest profile events on the world stage, from the 2012 London Olympics and the Diamond Jubilee along with the eponymous Glastonbury. The Event Production Show has long been known for its audience of pedigree buyers and we are looking forward to widening the reach of the audience to include sponsorship managers and in-bound European buyers as they seek to capitalise on the UK’s decade ahead.”
