INDUSTRY OVERVIEW Showman’s Show 2023 The largest trade show for the outdoor event sector returns to Newbury Showground on 18-19 October HELD IN high esteem by the outdoor event sector, this year’s Showman’s Show is promising to exceed expectations. “We’ve seen exhibitor bookings bounce back pretty much close to pre-pandemic levels,” says event director Johnny Lance. “We’ve had 50 brand new companies confirming their exhibition space for 2023 and have already expanded the exhibition hall, which is now almost at capacity. Businesses joining the exhibitor line-up for the first time include suppliers and manufacturers showcasing everything from essential plant and equipment to technology, caterers and entertainment.” SHOWMAN’S SUPPER New for 2023 is The Showman’s Supper, taking place on Wednesday evening. Delivered by legendary industry caterer Eat to the Beat/Global Infusion Group., the evening will begin with a drink’s reception and nibbles. There will be a variety of food stations for snacks and desserts, while the main course will be served to guests as and when they’re ready. There will also be entertainment in the form of live music and a DJ. Fellow event director Jeremy Lance says: “In the last few years, the number “WE’VE SEEN EXHIBITOR BOOKINGS BOUNCE BACK PRETTY MUCH CLOSE TO PRE-PANDEMIC LEVELS” of exhibitors and visitors expressing their desire for some form of social event at the end of the first day of the show had grown to a point where we decided we needed to do something about it. Given the feedback we’ve received, and how well tickets are selling, we were definitely right.” SUSTAINABLE EVENT SUMMIT Making a return to the show will be the popular Vision: 2025 Sustainable Event Summit on Wednesday 18 October. This will be the eighth edition of the popular conference that brings together a community of sustainable event organisers and innovators for a series of workshops and panels with a focus on action. “As the organiser of a show that’s dedicated to the event industry it’s important for us that the conversation around sustainability continues,” says Johnny. “The Showman’s Show and the Sustainable Event Summit within it are a melting pot for ideas and innovation. We’ve seen increased engagement in sustainability; what we need now is action and solutions that really tackle the everyday challenges that suppliers and organisers face. We’re very much looking forward to welcoming back Vision: 2025 and its members.” SEE YOU THERE! For more details about the show and exhibitors, visit www.showmansshow.co.uk WWW.OPENAIRBUSINESS.COM 9
