The Event Production Show weathered the
snowfall to bring cutting edge offerings from
the world of events
E
vent Production Show took
place at Olympia London on
February 28 and 1 March
amidst red warnings from weather
experts for the country to stay at
home.
Despite these warnings, industry
professionals turned up in their
thousands to take part in the show,
which continues to be a genuine
business opportunity for outdoor
and live event organisers and
suppliers.
no cial numbers from the
organisers show that over 3,100
unique visitors attended the show
across the two days, with a total
attendance number of 3,703.
Event director Duncan Siegle
said: “The 2017 show delivered an
extraordinary number of visitors
and everything pre-show was
pointing to another record breaking
year. Hence, for everyone involved
in the show – organiser, exhibitor
and visitor alike – the weather
situation was extremely frustrating
and out of our control. However, the
dedication of buyers from across the
UK won through and the quality
of the audience was there for all to
see.”
Tyrone Marshall, Events & marketing manager -
MattsBBQ
Thank you so much for inviting myself and
the MattsBBQ team to EPS. It was immensely
informative and a great networking opportunity,
especially as we are new to the industry. Having
that face to face interaction is much more helpful
than just finding via a Google search.
I would like to say an extra thank you to
Elizabeth Nixon at Mash Media, without her
we would not know there was this side of the
industry. Inviting us to events like Festout and
EPS has helped us in so many ways. After hearing
the struggles we were having getting a venue she
has even gone out of her way to introduce us to
The Fair.
