The National Countyside Show is a new public exhibition to be staged in February (2nd-4th) at Earls Court. It will be a selling show with exhibitors ranging from organic food producers to rocking horse makers. Perhaps a bike stand or two wont go amiss?
When you exhibit at the National Countryside Show you will reach customers who have an interest in everything to do with the countryside whether they are urban or country dwellers….19,000 sq.m indoors in February covering a broad base of living, working and playing in the countryside.
Interchange 2001 is a trade show for companies involved in integrated transport. Naturally, bus and train operators will predominate but you cant get more integrated than taking a folding bike on public transport.
Interchange will bring together transport providers, construction companies, information, technology and systems suppliers, professional services, local and central government, for three days in April 2001, at Excel in London Docklands. It will facilitate the exchange of ideas, information and innovative thinking and the sharing of best practice through a showcase for the latest products and technology, an interactive demonstration area, a summit with individual discussion forums and an awards ceremony.
The president of Interchange is the very bike-friendly Steve Norris, the former Tory minister of transport responsible for pushing forward the National Cycling Strategy.
He says: Interchange is a pivotal event for the developing integrated transport market in the UK. By bringing together the leading players from the transport and construction worlds it will encourage innovative thinking, the exchange of ideas and the definition of a market place for the next decade. I would urge all those companies who see this new market as an opportunity to get similarly involved."
Excel, London Docklands, 3-5th April.
