What can attendees expect at the Event Production Show 2025 ? What ’ s new in terms of content ? Building on the roaring success of EPS 2024 , we ’ re going bigger and better for 2025 . After selling out the show floor two weeks ahead of last year ’ s event , we ’ ve added an additional 1,000sqm of space . This expansion allows us to welcome over 200 exhibitors , which we anticipate will drive even greater visitor attendance .
A key highlight for 2025 is EPS X FEST , a feature area designed to recreate the exhilarating atmosphere of a festival with live music , interactive entertainment and a celebration of festival culture .
