BVE 2013 Hailed A Success

BVE 2013 has been hailed as a success after welcoming over 15,000 visitors over three days and experiencing a 57% increase in international visitors.
Organisers also reported record onsite re-bookings, with current exhibitors committing to 70% of the floorspace for BVE 2014, which takes place from 25-27 February 2014.
BVE North, held at Manchester Central, will take place on 12-13 November 2013.
James Rowley-Ashwood, Event Director, BVE, said: "The show was a phenomenal success for both exhibitors and visitors. The feedback we have received has been overwhelmingly positive and constructive, and footfall shows that the industry supports the move to ExCeL. It has given us a great foundation to build on for next year’s event."
At the Exhibitor Awards, AC Entertainment Technologies won the award for Best New Product Launch, while the stand prizes were awarded as follows:
CVP - Best Space Only stand
Audio-Technica - Best Shell Scheme stand
Blue Skies - Best Shell Scheme stand in Production Services area
Chris Daniels, Director, Holdan Limited, said: "By lunch time on the first day, the decision to move to Excel had been vindicated. Clearly getting to the venue has not been an issue for the visitors either - we've seen no drop-off in professionals from the West of London or the rest of the country."
Mark Forth, Managing Director, CVP, added: "We’ve been incredibly busy, talking to knowledgeable visitors with serious purchasing intentions. It’s been a very valuable show for CVP, and winning the award for Best Space Only stand was the icing on the cake."
