FIT SHOW 2017
EVEN MORE REASONS TO BE EXCITED FOR FIT SHOW 2017
»»
FIT Show 2017 is almost here and there’ s no denying that the industry is excited. With over 200 exhibitors set to promote new products, connect with existing customers, network with new ones, and more at the show’ s new home- the NEC, Birmingham – it’ s going to be the talk of the industry for months to come.
With three halls of exhibition space, occupying halls 6, 7 and 8, there’ s even more quality exhibitors and products to deliver a truly world class exhibition. With more space than ever before, core areas of the show are expanding such as aluminium, including the new CAB pavilion, and to allow for representation from new international exhibitors.
While many familiar faces return to the show this year, it is also proving to be a massive hit with new exhibiting companies, attracting no fewer than 99 new exhibiting companies who were not at FIT Show 2016.
This year sees the introduction of the first ever BIG Tuesday with later opening hours on the first day of the exhibition to 8pm. Visitors to this year’ s show will be able to mix business with pleasure, thanks to everything from champagne receptions to‘ 80s themed discos, a host of anniversary celebrations and even a pub quiz and ballet dancing performance, once the exhibition begins to unwind after 5pm.
Visitors will have the opportunity to learn more about the industry and maximise the potential of their business through various seminars and Q & As, with a host of distinguished speakers covering a full spectrum of key topics for the window, door and conservatory industry. A total of 19 seminar sessions have been scheduled for the exhibition to provide show-goers with up to date advice on everything from market conditions, regulations and finance, to the latest sales, business and installation advice. There will also be a separate and dedicated programme from systems house AluK, which will be hosting a series of seminars focusing on the aluminium industry.
Returning once again for 2017 is the FIT Show’ s popular Master Fitter Challenge, with just six installers competing in the live finals for cash prizes totaling £ 10,000. Winners will be announced the evening of May 24th at the Parisian Burlesque themed Gala Dinner.
