P&P LIVE! 2018
P&P LIVE! moves to January dates in 2018 E
Printwear & Promotion LIVE! 2018 will take place a month earlier than its usual dates and following further growth will now be held in Halls 17 & 18 at the NEC, Birmingham from Sunday, January 21 to Tuesday, January 23.
vent director Tony Gardner comments: “The continued expansion of the show in recent years has meant we have had to relocate again into bigger halls and the availability of larger halls has resulted in a move to January for 2018.”
In respect to the earlier dates Tony continues: “January is traditionally a little quieter for the garment decoration market as a whole, thus from a visitor perspective the January dates present the opportunity for even more to attend. This is borne out by research among visitors to this yearʼs show, although around 60% had no preference on January or February dates, two thirds of the remaining 40% advised that the earlier dates are better suited for them to visit in 2018!
“January is also the time when new clothing lines from the major clothing brands are launched, so being able to showcase these to the market a month earlier is seen as a real benefit of the earlier dates by the clothing brands and distributors exhibiting at the show.” The new strap line for the 2018 show
ʻWhere the action isʼ, reflects the fact that the show is now an annual launch pad used to demonstrate new equipment and to showcase new clothing lines, it also echoes the ʻLIVE!ʼ aspect of Printwear & Promotion, presenting the industry in a vibrant, dynamic and ʻhands onʼ way. As the only dedicated event for the UK garment decoration industry, the show provides an interactive event for its visitors with workshops, seminars, advice from industry experts and on stand demonstrations. A one-stop-shop for printwear professionals, as well as those looking to enter the market, the exhibition features around 160 stands from all sectors of the garment and product decoration market, including around 60 clothing brands, distributors and all of the major decoration equipment and accessory

90% of the floor space has now been sold and the 2018 show is on target to exceed this yearʼs record amount of stand space sold!
Discussing visitor numbers Tony says: “Comments and feedback that we received from our visitors shows that inspiration to develop and grow their business is what they get from the show and why they enjoy it so much! Those who visit the show for the first time often comment that there is a real ʻbuzzʼ at the show. Record visitor numbers of well over 5,000 at each of the last three shows, is
