For A&D Publishing (publishers of REI), taking ownership of the roadshow has been a fantastic opportunity to take a winning formula and build on it, making it this year’s must-see event. The Heating & Renewables Roadshow already has great support from a significant range of exhibitors and associations, with stand space almost 100 per cent confirmed. We recognise the importance of equipping visitors with the necessary knowledge to help to increase profits and improve product specifications, so we are working very hard to develop a comprehensive and stimulating seminar programme. As a key part of this, we have asked a number of major merchants from the worlds of heating and renewables to work with us as knowledge partners – REHAU, St Gobain, Edmundson Electrical and SBS. This steering committee will ensure the quality of content is as high as possible, addressing all the key industry issues for the coming year. Much of the subject matter will be delivered by the knowledge partners themselves, but keynote sessions will be reserved for government departments and associated trade bodies, such as MCS, SEA and HETAS. Furthermore, a big part of the roadshow will be the hugely successful awards. Following September’s successful ceremony at The Kensington Roof Gardens, all 13 categories have been retained, plus four which are brand new to 2015. With plans already so advanced, we are holding an exhibitor day at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry on Thursday 05 February to communicate plans and promotion for the show. This information will follow online and in March’s issue of REI including how to register for the roadshow, and how to enter the awards.
