FEBRUARY 2020 | EXHIBITOR INSIGHT What ingredients are needed for the best live events? t’s the $64 million question - well maybe not that pricey, but certainly the running of an event embraces a shopping list of some depth to cover the logistics: staging, audio, lighting, the acts, bars, catering, toilets, entertainment, insurance, roadways, barriers, ticketing, security, crewing, accommodation, temporary structures… even mobile laundry. This is my first year as Director on The Event Production Show and having taken the baton I am excited to create an event that delivers on all the needs of event production professionals. EPS is designed to support and promote the industry by showcasing the latest products as well as creating connections and contacts. EPS 2020, as ever, welcomes a huge range of exhibiting partners, offering guests a chance to discover new ideas and solutions as well as established suppliers that are vital to the production of the very best live events worldwide. If you haven’t heard, we’ve moved home! We’ve moved the Event Production Show to the fantastic ExCeL London. We felt it offers a better environment for our partners to showcase their products and services, better facilities for our visiting guests and more space to house even more engaging content and experiences. Finally, our biggest addition this year is the Festival Live feature of the show. There’s more on this later in these pages, but as a headline, it’s a fully produced festival area allowing partners to showcase themselves in real life situations. No festival would be authentic without entertainment, music, dedicated products… and a little bit of mud!
