Event UK 2010
Event UK 2010
Event UK took place on 21st – 22nd September at Birmingham’s NEC bringing together exhibitors including destinations, venues and event service suppliers. VisitScotland's Business Tourism Unit were in attendance with stand partners Edinburgh International Conference Centre, The Famous Grouse Experience and Edinburgh Edge, a collaboration of three partners:-
Maximillion
Edinburgh International Climbing Arena
Marriott Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club
To celebrate the year of food and drink, we hosted a "Taste of Scotland" reception on stand on Tuesday 21 Sept which saw stand visitors enjoying a cocktail with a twist courtesy of the Famous Grouse and locally produced wines and exquisite chocolates from the Highland Chocolatier.
Event UK was once again co-located with complementary events allowing visitors to explore a wider range of products and services of interest to them. 3, 818 visitors attended Event UK and the co-located events, Incentive & Promotional Marketing Live! and Print for Business Live!, demonstrating a 27% increase on 2009.
Director of Event UK, Alison Willis commented; “There was a real vibe about the show and obvious positivity from our exhibitors. Business was being done on the show floor shortly after the doors opened thanks to the high calibre of visitors and senior decision makers in attendance. One of our exhibitors even told us that they had taken their first qualified enquiry before 10.30am on day one of the show.”
Event UK brings together exhibitors including destinations, venues and event service suppliers as well as all the trimmings needed to transform your events into something amazing.
