Preparations for next year’s London show are progressing quickly, with the fifth edition of the event set to further cement its place on the international show calendar.

Show organiser Karen Cooke confirmed that the EAG team is aiming to produce an event next year that surpasses all previous shows.

“Despite the economic climate, EAG International has continued to grow,” she said. “There is a real risk that as a trade show becomes established, it becomes formularised. We know from our supporters that the basics are right; ExCel is a highly professional venue and the traditional timing of the third week in January is perfect for the industry.”

Ahead of online registration for the 2014 show commencing on October 1, Cooke revealed that her team have spent the last eight months consulting with the show’s various interest groups, taking new ideas on board and refining the show’s offering. “EAG International’s main function is to provide a platform for doing business and we take our part in this very seriously,” she added.

October 1 will also see the launch of a new-look EAG International website.

“We very much see www.eagexpo.com as an up to date resource and hope that both visitors and exhibitors will visit regularly to catch up on the latest news and information about the show and its exhibitors,” Cooke explained. “The redesigned site is simpler to use with everything in one place, be it online registration, stand booking, hotel reservations and advice about travel to ExCel.

“We would urge visitors to register and arrange accommodation as soon as possible as next year we will be sharing ExCel with another expo and hotel space will be in high demand.”
