Booming Baby for Earls Court

The Baby Show has had another successful year at Earls Court with visitor numbers up by 14% and a total attendance figure of 26,000. The show was the third Baby Show this year organised by Clarion Events, but the Earls Court show had the highest attendance figures compared with 23,337 at ExCeL in March and 24,667 at the NEC in May, highlighting how EC&O Venues are continuing to achieve great results.

Nicole Boakes, Show Director, Clarion Events “The Baby Shows have gone from strength to strength this year thanks to the support of our clients and growing number of visitors. With over 285 exhibitors and new features the Show content at Earls Court was richer than ever. It not only delivered for us but for the industry as a whole.”

The Baby Show started out at Olympia in the Grand Hall but due to its popularity with exhibitors and visitors it moved over to Earls Court One in 2006. The show has succeeded even more this year, not only with the increased visitor numbers but exhibitors were keen to rebook straight away and more than half rebooked onsite at Earls Court.

Jeremy Rees, EC&O Venues, Exhibition Sales Director said “The Baby Show is just one example of the many shows this year at EC&O Venues that has seen a positive increase in attendance and gained excellent organiser and exhibitor feedback and we look forward to hosting another successful show again in 2008”.
