Sunshine on a rainy day

It may have been a wet few weeks in the UK, but it's been bright here at Exhibit 3Sixty, and we've been working hard across events and exhibitions around the country, delivering?full-service shows and many space-only stands to our expanding list of wonderful clients.?

Despite the murky weather, Solar and Storage Live 24-26 September, NEC Birmingham, was a shining success. We delivered full service to the show and designed, built, and installed several space-only stands for clients including Open Solar, Segen, Canadian Solar, Longi, and the Solis Cafe feature area.

Earlier in the month we delivered several space-only stands to the Emergency Services Show, NEC Birmingham, 18-19 September, including a stand for EV manufacturer BYD.

You've got the power

October featured the annual retail milestone event, Curry's Peak 24, October 9-10, where we designed and built the extensive stand for our long-standing client Hisense. During the event, Hisense showcased the latest in consumer appliances and electronics for the giant store chain.

We designed, built, and installed the Baby Style and Axkid stands at the Harrogate International Nursery Fair, Harrogate Conference Centre 2-3 October.?

That’s not all we’ve been up to! We also built and installed stands for several other clients at events around the country, including Brother, Xylem, and Thermal Vision at the Engineering Design Show, 9-10 October, CBS Arena, right here in Coventry.

Safe & Sound

We were in Hampshire for Safety, Health and Wellbeing at Farnborough International, 2-3 October, delivering full service to the organiser. We've been working on this conference and exhibition since its inception, and it's been most satisfying to watch it grow and flourish into this successful, twice-yearly, event at Farnborough International and Manchester Central. The event has now grown to include Fire Safety Live, offering OSH professionals even more essential educational, networking and procurement opportunities.

I would walk 500 miles (but 33 will do)

In international news, the Exhibit 3Sixty team travelled out to Andalusia, Spain, to build the European Regional Airlines (ERA) landmark event, the annual General Assembly at the Barcelo Conference Centre, Seville, October 2-3. Part conference, part exhibition, the ERA General Assembly has been a regular engagement for us for several years. We've developed a brilliant working relationship with ERA and really look forward to our annual sojourn to (usually) Portugal and Spain. It's a well-attended event with delegates from 170 air travel businesses and suppliers including over 50 regional airlines. But it's not all sunshine and sangria - as Alan's step counter shows, he walked roughly 11 miles on every day of the build!

New Scientist Live, ExCel London, 12-14? October, brought us to London to build this amazing public show and festival of knowledge for all ages. This was our first time working on this popular event dedicated to the public understanding of science and inspiring young people.

We've delivered several other full service shows recently, including newcomer The Aftermarket Event at Farnborough International, 2-3 October -?a show dedicated to the independent garage and bodyshop sector; Two financial symposia for our client Quartz, the Operational & Business Transformation Summit, 6-8 October, and the Connect CFO Leadership Summit 2024, October 19, both at Twickenham Stadium. And this week we'll be working on The Roofing, Cladding & Insulation Show, ready to open on October 24 at MK Stadium in Milton Keynes.

For our most recent event, the team travelled to Manchester Central to build the LIFE Conference for actuaries, 14-16 October, and the action continues non-stop!?

Our new HQ is really starting to feel like home now, and with the exhibition season in full swing, we'll be delivering full-service events and stand-building services solidly through to the New Year. We've also entered the ESSA Awards this year, and we're looking forward to seeing the shortlist soon!?

Watch this space and see you on the exhibition floor!
