IOV Convention moves to Stoneleigh Park, Coventry

Following the fire which devastated the main exhibition halls at the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham last September, the Institute of Videography has relocated its Annual Convention and Trade Exhibition to Stoneleigh Park, situated just outside Coventry.
Taking place on April 28-29, the trade exhibition will be housed in Exhibition Hall 1. Stoneleigh Park is probably best known for hosting the UK's leading outdoor events, including the Royal Agricultural Show - and provides over 10,000 square metres of purpose-built indoor exhibition facilities that rival any major exhibition venue within Europe. Hall 1, being roughly three times the floor space the IOV occupied at the museum, will help accommodate the rapid growth of this event. Aimed primarily at the professional videographer, the IOV convention also has a growing following among serious hobbyists who strive to produce video to a professional standard.
The seminar programme spanning the two days is geared towards the professional, and those wanting to achieve professional results - and ranges from technical 'How to' type presentations through to sessions with expert panels from the wedding, corporate and documentary markets.
With over 40 exhibitors, representing literally hundreds of manufacturers, visitors can see, try and buy all the latest professional video technology. From simple cables and connectors through to entire production studios - or even a year's worth of tape and media stock. Regular visitors make the IOV Convention their main purchasing event, and exhibitors respond by providing many special exhibition offers.
Those travelling by car benefit from literally thousands of free parking spaces. Stoneleigh Park is easily accessed from M1 (Junction 17), M6 (Junction 2), M40 (Junction 15) or M42 (Junction 6) with AA signage in place on all major routes for the event.
Air and train travel details can be found on the IOV website (www.iov.co.uk) - along with details of local hotels. Entrance to the exhibition trade halls is free to registered visitors. Further details are available from event organisers, IOV Focus, on +44 (0) 20 8502 3817.
