Claiming 15,934 unique visitors across their three days, the BVE and TPS shows mark ‘a significant increase in international attendance ahead of the show’s move to ExCeL in 2013’.

‘The vibe from the show floor was that people were actually investing in new kit and technology,’ says EMAP Event Director, Charlotte Wheeler. ‘The seminars wereextremely well attended right up to the last hour; and 45 per cent of BVE exhibitors have already rebooked 69 per cent of the space of the 2012 show, which shows how confident exhibitors are about the benefits that BVE 2013 will bring them.’

The figures include an 84 per cent increase in international visitors from countries including France, Germany and Italy, and as far afield as Nigeria. ‘The rise in international attendance is also a very positive indicator for next year, when the proximity of London City Airport to ExCeL makes the show even more accessible to overseas visitors,' Wheeler says. 'We look forward to welcoming broadcast professionals from across the world in 2013, where they can create valuable new business contacts, learn about new technologies andtrends, and be inspired a new by this exciting industry.’

BVE 2013 will take place from 26-28 February at ExCeL in London. BVE North takes place from 13-14 November at Manchester Central. More details can be found in the comprehensive Fast-and-Wide international events listing.
