Scoop International announces new dates
S
coop International has decided to bring its Autumn/Winter show forward by a month. It will be held on 19-21 January at the Saatchi Gallery in the heart of Chelsea and Phillips within close proximity to Victoria. The event will feature more than 400 labels. The organiser hailed double the number of exhibitors at its summer 2013 event from the February show. “We tend to show in mid-February, however the positive implication of bringing the dates forward is that fashion designers selling earlier in the season look likely to have an advantage over those going with later dates, with many buyers looking to commit their budgets as early as possible,” said Scoop International MD Karen Radley.
PRO EXPO FOR AUDIO AND LIGHTING MARKET
O
rganiser Marked Events has unveiled the PRO Audio and Lighting Technology Show set to come to The NEC in 2014. The exhibition will target the professional audio and lighting technology market and will be at the Midlands venue from 13 to 15 September 2014. The new show will be alongside the organiser’s BPM: DJ and Electronic Music Production Event, which had its latest edition at The NEC in September. “There is such a gaping hole in exhibitions specific to the venue installation and small to medium sized event technology sector that this seems like an obvious choice and one that has been prompted by multiple requests from new and existing exhibitors.”
“Creating the dual show approach is a bold move for us, but one we are really excited about,” said Marked Events sales director Mark Walsh. “By launching PRO we can mature into new areas with a dedicated marketing plan.
