The London Vet Show relocates from Olympia to Excel this November, enabling organisers CloserStill Media to achieve their plans for expansion, attract more visitors, and enhance the visitor experience. Other relocating shows include the UK’s biggest dance event MOVE IT, the UK’s definitive railway infrastructure event Infrarail, together with newer events such as ITEC, the UCAS HE Convention, Vapejam, and The Office Show.
In addition to this exciting raft of new launches at Excel, 2016 will see world-renowned experts and famous faces from the world of science, engineering, and technology converge on London for the debut of New Scientist Live. Organised by RBI and supported by Mayor of London, the event is set to be Europe’s largest festival of scientific discovery and innovation.
Appetite for pop culture shows little signs of abating with the launch of the Star Wars Celebration, the ultimate experience for fans of this huge film franchise this July, set to attract thousands of visitors. This event follows a year at Excel in which over 500,000 visitors attended bi-annual event MCM Comic Con, now the world’s third largest Comic Con event, in additional to shows like the Dr. Who Festival, Sherlocked Convention, and London Super Comic Con.
Given the continuing growth of popular consumer shows at Excel and the huge success of Minecon 2015, it’s not surprising that MCM have chosen to debut their brand new gaming event at Excel in 2016. Gamermania, taking place from 29th – 31st July, is set to take the videogame industry by storm, showcasing the most exciting and innovating content from the biggest gaming studios.
‘It’s set to be a really exciting 2016’, says Jeremy Rees, Executive Directors of Exhibitions. ‘Face-to-face events, where likeminded people have the opportunity to meet, network, and exchange ideas, have never been so important and this is apparent in the raft of new business and expanding shows that we will welcome to Excel next year. We look forward to working closely with the event organisers to support growth and helps make their shows a long-term success.’
