Over 8,000 exhibitors: SALTEX 2015 was an unprecedented success with over 260 exhibitors and 8,714 unique visitors spanning 45 different nations. The ever popular ‘Amenity Forum Question Time’ will also be taking place which will see a panel of experts drawn from across the sector responding to audience questions on a range of topics regarding pests and diseases. Elsewhere within the programme, Rhoderic Taylor, consultant and fellow of the Arboricultural Association, will be delivering a presentation entitled ‘Trees from selection to establishment’ in which he will be discussing what to look for when selecting trees based on the nature of the site. Based on SALTEX 2015 postshow feedback surveys, show organisers have made the decision to bring back outdoor working demonstrations, which will take place on a grass area directly outside the SALTEX halls 6, 7 and 8 and will provide visitors with an opportunity of seeing a number of products in action. In SALTEX 2015 post-show visitor feedback surveys, attendees from across the UK and abroad said that the venue, and convenient dates were key reasons behind their decisions to attend the FREE event.
