Millbrook first to sign up to inaugural UK Venue Show

Millbrook Events, located at the world famous vehicle proving ground, was the first exhibitor to sign up to the brand new UK Venue Show. The show takes place on the 1st and 2nd February 2012 at London’s West Hall Olympia and is organised by Ocean Media Group, which runs the established Event Production Show.

Kevin Leaver, head of events at Millbrook, said: “At Millbrook, our venues are production led and we have been looking for some time for the right opportunity to reach the kind of audience that that this new event will offer, by building on the already successful Event Production Show.

“We feel that the UK Venue Show fills a gap in the market, left by the loss of some exhibitions and significant changes to others. We are really looking forward to working with Ocean Media on this exciting new event and believe that this show will offer us a significant ROI.”

The UK Venue Show has been created by Ocean Media to complement the existing Event Production Show (EPS), following feedback from previous EPS attendees. The organisers anticipate hosting over 250 exhibitors and 5,000 delegates over two days for the combined offering.

Tanya Cohen, event director at Ocean Media commented: “I am truly excited about the launch of the UK Venue Show. The synergy of running alongside the Event Production Show, staying in the west of London and maintaining the strength of the UK domestic market is fitting for the future of the UK events industry.

“It is also great news for the show that we’ve got exhibitors of the calibre of Millbrook signing up so early in the process. I’ve worked with the team at Millbrook over a number of years and am delighted to have them on board as the first exhibitor to sign up for the show.”
