Exhibiting at Event UK

Event UK (incorporating the National Venue Show) is a new exhibition for the events industry. Part of Confex Group, Event UK is the ideal business forum for venues, event service suppliers, destinations, experiential agencies and finishing touches to come together with UK buyers.

As part of CMPi we have one of the largest databases of event planners from the corporate, agency and association sectors and as such attract a high profile visitor audience drawn in from all over the UK.

In 2007, we invested a massive 40% more into the marketing of the show, as well as a team of data cleaners, which resulted in an increase in quality buyers. This type of investment is set to continue for Event UK 2008 as we actively seek to build our visitor attendance and bring in more associations, agencies and corporate buyers.

Our audience:

• Over 5,000 organisers and marketers of a wide variety of events from meetings and conferences to awards, product launches, exhibitions and parties
• 78% of visitors in 2007 had a budget of over £200,000
• Around 50% of visitors organise over 10 events a year
• Over 76% of visitors had budget approval or recommendation authority
• 62% were managers with staff or higher
