The UK CONCRETE Show 2014 will now be held in Hall 5 of the NEC on Thursday 27th and Friday 28th of February, 2014, according to organisers’ Marwood Events, Show Director, Steven Callaghan.
“The shows’ resounding success and rapid growth since launching in 2011, means we need a bigger hall for 2014 and they don't come any bigger than Hall 5 at the NEC.”
"To fit in with the NEC's schedule for Hall 5, we've had to move the show forward a day so open days change to Thursday 27 and Friday 28th of February, 2014. This means we can expand the show, not just in terms of stand capacity, but features such as indoor and outdoor live demonstration areas, something our visitors tell us they want at the show”, continues Callaghan.
Another big decision for Marwood has been to convert the show to an entirely paperless, BYOD (Bring your Own Device) format and introduce the new Noodle Live data engine to power the show app, registration and data handling building on the introduction of the show app at the 2013 show which was subscribed to by almost 12,000 people.
“A richly featured technology package, Noodle Live is being introduced at a UK exhibition for the very first time and functions by channeling everything through to visitors smartphone, tablet or laptop computer” explains Callaghan.
“This means no printed showguide or floorplan and using RFID technology, every visitor and exhibitor has a Cloud account and using the free in hall Wifi, a simple swipe of the entry badge on a specially configured tablet swipe on each stand, both uploads the visitors details to the exhibitors cloud account, and the exhibitors promotional material in PDF format to the visitors account with both sets of data being immediately accessible” he adds.
With over 50% of it’s stands already taken and expected to attract 200+ exhibitors and over 5000 people, the concrete industries specialist event is set fair for 2014.”
