The showís organiser, Reed Exhibitions, is launching a comprehensive seminar programme for 2005. In addition to invited speakers, Reed will be welcoming applications for presentation slots in March. The presentation slots are expected to prove very popular and those companies interested in submitting a paper, are advised to email Sarah Sweby (sarah.sweby@reedexpo.co.uk), who will notify them as soon as the online call for papers is live.
The expanded seminar programme will be scheduled over the duration of the three-day show, with six half hour sessions and one 45-minute keynote speech per day. The details of the seminar programme are currently being finalised.
The National Incentive Show is hailed (from detailed industry research) as being the one event that the industry needs due to itís perfect timing for the Christmas buying season and growing success in delivering a quality line up of exhibitors and visitors alike. The event continues to grow, exhibitor space at this yearís event has been increased by 15% from 2004 specifications, and is successfully meeting customer needs, providing a wide range of products and services to attract customers, drive sales and reward employees.
Co-located with The National Venue Show and The National Direct Marketing Show, The National Incentive Show has for the past 9 years brought together the largest group of marketing, meetings and promotions executives in one place at one time. Furthermore, in 2005 exhibitors at the National Incentive Show will be able to benefit even more as 4 extra events join the co-location - the Event Services Show, Live Marketing Show, Corporate Events Show and Overseas Meetings & Events Show - ensuring that this yearís exhibition offers optimal value to exhibitor and visitor alike.
The National Incentive Show is taking place from 13th - 15th September 2005 at the NEC in Birmingham, UK. It is organised in association with the British Promotional Merchandising Association (BPMA) and supported by The Institute of Sales Promotion (ISP) and The Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM).
