INDUSTRY QUOTES

The UK Venue Show already has the backing of the industry with the Association of Event Venues, the Meetings Industry Association and Earls Court & Olympia having pledged their support:

"The AEV are encouraged by the launch of the UK Venue Show, and are looking forward to working with the organisers to support the event which runs alongside the Event Production Show in London."
Chris Skeith, AEV

"The UK Venue Show promises to be an effective platform for venues to engage with potential new clients and as the only national standard for meeting venues in the UK, it is important that AIM is represented and for the mia to support the show.  The AIM Accredited Venue Village will be a major feature, housing a collection of AIM venues alongside the mia team. It's a format that has proven to be a powerful means to generate quality business leads for AIM venues, and we anticipate similar successes at this show." 

Response to the UK Venue Show from venues themselves has been fantastic:

"I am delighted that we have the opportunity to support and exhibit at the UK Venue Show. For Church House Conference Centre the show has come at the perfect time as we look to develop new markets for the venue."
Robin Parker, Church House Conference Centre


"At Millbrook, our venues are production led and we have been looking for some time for the right opportunity to reach the kind of audience that that this new event will offer, by building on the already successful Event Production Show. We feel that the UK Venue Show fills a gap in the market, left by the loss of some exhibitions and significant changes to others. We are really looking forward to working with Ocean Media on this exciting new event and believe that this show will offer us a significant ROI."
Kevin Leaver, Millbrook Events


"We are very aware of the calibre and buying power of the audiences of The UK Venue Show and The Event Production Show. The show will give us a great opportunity to maximise networking opportunities and highlight our size and scope for hosting UK based events - and we're looking forward to taking part."
Katy Tomlin, ODEON Conferencing and Events UK
