London Summer Event Show announces new dates and location for 3rd edition

Following record-breaking visitor numbers at the 2016 event, the London Summer Event Show will return for its third edition from 24-25 January 2017 at London city venue Banking Hall.

This is the second time exhibition organiser Story Events has partnered with the Grade II-listed building, after previously hosting the 2014 edition of its Christmas-themed exhibition, London Christmas Party Show, at the venue.

Banking Hall is part of the Camm & Hooper venue collection, which also includes London event spaces Tanner & Co and the Victorian Bathhouse.

Darren Hart, Director of Sales at Camm & Hooper comments: “We couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome back Story Events, this time for the London Summer Event Show. The show is a fantastic opportunity for clients to see our venue ‘in action’ as well as offering the opportunity for like-minded event professionals to mingle and network. With the best of the events industry exhibiting over the two days, the show has become one of the most anticipated dates of the events industry calendar.”

The London Summer Event Show is a boutique trade event designed specifically for top venues and suppliers in London and the South East to present their summer offerings to more than 700 pre-qualified event buyers. Top corporates buyers at the last event included BP, BBC, Deloitte, HSBC, Microsoft, Mitsubishi, PWC, Sainsbury’s and Unilever, to name a few. The event focuses on visitor quality over quantity to place focus on exhibitor ROI.

Previous exhibitor Marie Froger from Belgraves notes: “The visitors are very targeted compared to other shows. It’s about quality not quantity.”

The Show looks set to be the largest yet, with 65 planned exhibition stands. Among those already signed up are Dulwich College, BMA House, Barbican, Middle Temple Hall, Café de Paris and IET Venues.

Currently in its Early Bird Booking stage, Story Events is offering exclusive perks for exhibitor bookings in this period, including a discounted stand, an invitation to the pre-show networking dinner and weekly promotion to a database of 21,000 event buyers from now until the event.
