Welcome
Constant
evolution
T
his month has been a timely reminder that nothing
in the exhibition industry ever stands still. As I write
this, Informa Exhibitions is days away from announcing
a rebrand to Informa Markets (but luckily EN has the
scoop), and an exciting new chapter in the company’s
history.
This month’s cover feature (p20) examines the changing
security landscape that we all, as an industry, have to
address. Events have always been a target and have always
had to guard against external threats, and now we have
more tools than ever to make sure everyone under our care
is safe.
Elsewhere in the issue, new launches, venues and
products remind us that it’s still possible to be fresh and
original in this crowded marketplace.
Now, as we enjoy the evolution of spring into summer,
let’s take a moment to celebrate the constant stream of
innovation and fresh ideas that defines the exhibition
industry.
Enjoy the issue, and hopefully the sun,
Nicola, Editor
