This event is unmissable for anyone who works within the flood industry and works in an industry that can be affected by flooding. Make sure you have it in the diary and don’t miss out on the limited free tickets. The show has also been awarded with the country’s best new exhibition at this year’s Exhibition News Awards which took place in London on Friday 10 April. The accolade received by Flood Expo, which made its debut in December 2014 at ExCeL London, was reward for the passion, innovation, and diligence put into its organisation by its creators at the PRYSM Group. Event director Jon Greenslade said “It’s an absolute honour and a privilege to receive this award. I’m absolutely thrilled that all our effort in creating this event have been recognised at the exhibition industry’s most prestigious event. I’m even more excited now about the expo’s future and the service it provides to the flood professionals.” The show has evolved since the launch show with the Environment Agency becoming more involved with a networking area and seminar theatre. The live demonstrations on the Thames have doubled as well as the scale of the products being showcased at the ExCeL. There has also been another networking area added for the Search and Rescue industry and there is a seminar theatre dedicated to Flood Tech, covering innovative topics to revolutionise the flooding industry. The Flood Expo fully encompasses everything to prevent, manage and protect against the force of flooding. Interested in exhibiting?
