Its Showtime for London

easyFairs is partnering with londonlaunch.com to create easyFairs londonlaunch: LIVE 2008 – an exhibition designed to showcase London venues and services to events and hospitality professionals.

The new event, taking place from 25 – 26 June 2008 at Earls Court 2, has already signed up 11 major launch partners, all leading players in the London events sector, including The Concerto Group, GS Productions, Les Enfants, LondonMICE, The Magic Circle, The Mayfair Hotel, Ministry of Sound, Richmond Catering, The Wellcome Collection, Unique Venues of London and Victory Services Club.

As one of Europe’s fastest growing event organisers, easyFairs specialises in time and cost effective trade shows.  Operating in 15 countries and running over 100 events each year, its shows are low cost and low fuss to take part in.  There’s minimal set up required and its modular approach to stands puts all exhibitors on a level playing field.  As a result its shows attract a greater variety of exhibitors  - companies who are incredibly innovative but who simply can’t afford to show at other events.

Peter Heath, managing director of easyFairs UK comments: 
“Our show concept is perfect for the venues and hospitality market – indeed easyFairs already runs successful trade shows for the meetings and events markets in Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Benelux.  London is arguably an even bigger player in the international hospitality sector, it is about time it had a trade show dedicated to it.”

Event organisers, be they planning a major corporate event, a small seminar, a product launch, meeting or party, will have the chance to see everything London has to offer under one roof.  At easyFairs londonlaunch: LIVE 2008, even the smallest, specialist venues and niche suppliers will be exhibiting alongside the major names. So conference organisers, party planners and events professionals who visit the show will see the full breadth of venues, hotels, catering and entertainment providers, florists and other event services on offer in the capital. 

Moira Taylor, general manager of LondonMICE Ltd loves the idea of the show: 
“Our role is to promote the diversity that London has to offer, so this event is perfect for LondonMICE and our members.  It’s great that the London events industry finally has a show that makes it easier for smaller venues and suppliers to exhibit.”
 
In addition to this huge breadth of exhibitors, the visitors will also experience the easyFairs promise of free show entry, free at show parking, a free catalogue and even the tea and coffee all being free.

Will Broome, managing director of Londonlaunch.com comments: “We’re incredibly excited to be working with the easyFairs team.  We are the definitive online resource for London venues and suppliers and they are the most exciting trade show providers in the business – we’re the perfect combination to be creating an event for London.”
 
Peter Heath, agrees:
“London Launch are a great partner with a fantastic track record and a model and attitude that fits brilliantly with our own.  Together we will create a perfect showcase for London.”
