SPATEX organiser and spokesperson Michele Bridle commented: “I feel very positive that SPATEX will deliver one of its best shows to date. Behind the scenes over the past few months, the SPATEX team together with our PR company have been working hard to ensure this. It’s often been said that if what you are looking for is not at SPATEX you probably don’t need it!” The Upper Floor will not only debut Costa Coffee for your light refreshment needs, but also the Concept Gallery, a designated area that is dedicated to brand new products and services that are going to hit the headlines in 2012. The new SPATEX Wellness area on the Lower Floor SPATEX 2012 will feature an oasis of holistic therapy products now on the market. Music, soft lighting, saunas, steam rooms and massage chairs will help simulate a spa environment and beauty therapists will be on hand to offer manicures and shoulder massages to visitors whilst they peruse the array of products that surround them. If anyone feels the need for a bit of pampering then this is the place for you!
With 15 new presentations and a bumper selection of 22 separate sessions, the Technical Programme organised by the Institute of Swimming Pool Engineers looks to be the best
ever. Also a first for 2012 is the SPATEX Certificate of Attendance available for all the Technical Workshops as evidence of commitment to continuing professional development. The Institute of Swimming Pool Engineers (ISPE) will be on hand to offer advice on all things pool, spa and water related. There will also be a few surprises in store with guest speakers, a newly designed seminar arena and in-house competitions. If it is technical expertise you are after, don’t forget our dedicated Commercial Pool Operators’ Centre. “After 16 years of continuity, SPATEX has really proved its staying power but that is not to say we are complacent. With the New Year underway, ‘new’ is definitely the operative word for the show in February,” adds Michele. “There really is so much going on and we look forward to seeing you all in Brighton.”
With 20% discounted parking, fast track pre- registration, on-site accommodation and the best names in the business gathered together under one roof can you really afford not to be there? spn
