EC&O Venues and Incisive Media can confirm that the UK’s largest channel exhibition, Channel Expo, will next year take place at Olympia. The show, which was previously held at the Birmingham NEC, has re-located to the capital to be nearer to the majority of its visitor and exhibitor base.

Mark Burton, Publisher, Incisive Media said:

"After extensive analysis of both our exhibitor and visitor databases, we have decided to move Channel Expo to London. Not only is London nearer to most of our visitor base, it also makes sense for our exhibitors, many of whom are based in the South East. Kensington Olympia will provide Channel Expo with better facilities, easier access, an opportunity for future growth and above all the ability to offer our exhibitors and visitors a more productive, easy and enjoyable Channel Expo experience."

Channel Expo gives vendors and distributors the opportunity to showcase their latest products, services and technologies to the UK channel. The show enables exhibitors to strengthen their customer relationships, cultivate new leads and engage face to face with resellers. Next year it is scheduled to take place in Olympia’s National Hall on 12 – 13 May 2010.
