Promotional Marketing Exhibition Update

CURTAIN UP, IT'S ON WITH THE SHOW!

As I write this in mid-March, plans for the Promotional Marketing Exhibition 2007 are well advanced. Coming from a theatrical background (OK, so it was amateur dramatics) I always think of an exhibition as a theatrical production.

So, exploring that theme, we've got all the big names up in lights – 184 exhibitors, the latest to sign being SONY, House of Fraser Business Gifts, All Things Cling, Intercard Ltd, Furrytails, Halfords and Chocmotif. Click here for full exhibitors list.

As well as a host of suppliers of promotional merchandise, motivation and incentive solutions, the other stars of the show are the influential and knowledgeable Institute of Sales Promotion (ISP), British Promotional Merchandise Association (BPMA) and the Va (Voucher Association). We've also got some of the best 'directors' in the business, Ian Allchild, Gail Holm and Simon Tilley from Volume Exhibitions Limited, organisers of the show. The 'stage' is set at the renowned National Hall Olympia …. and now all that's needed is YOU. Yes, the 'booking office' is now open and guess what, tickets are FREE.

So pre-register NOW and receive your ticket in advance, giving you fast track entry PLUS a Promotional Marketing Visitor Clubcard offering a number of benefits, including a welcome cup of tea or coffee (courtesy of the ISP).

Taking the theme further, there IS a theatre within the exhibition hall; it's the 'Think about it' Seminar Theatre and again there will be major names starring in each module of the seminar. This production takes place three times daily on Tuesday and Wednesday, and once on Thursday. Each 'scene' (or module) has a unique theme and stars a different cast of well known characters form the industry and wider business circles. AND the seminar requires 'audience participation' so bring along all those industry questions you've always wanted to ask, or points of view you long to express, and put them to our panel of experts. Your Visitor Clubcard gives you a guaranteed seat at your
chosen module(s) of the seminar too, so to get 'booked up' now just click here NOW.
