With the launch show now just three weeks away, excitement continues to build for office* – the dedicated new exhibition and conference taking place at London’s Earls Court on 21-22 September, which is expected to see the largest gathering of PAs, EAs and Office Managers in the UK this year.
According to Carsten Holm, Managing Director of the show’s organiser Diversified Business Communications UK, the way the event has been received has gone well beyond even their most optimistic expectations:
“We have, frankly, been amazed by the reception to office*. The support we have received from the industry has been incredible and we are already well beyond the total number of visitor pre-registrations we expected for the event. Yet, in the last 24 hours alone, over 410 additional attendees have registered. And we are still over three weeks away from opening day. It’s going to be a very busy show! But what is even more impressive is the exceptional quality of the attendees, with 48 of the FTSE 100 companies already planning to send staff to the show!”
The wide range and high calibre of the event’s prospective attendees clearly demonstrate the breadth of appeal that office* has to the PA community at large. Whilst the majority are from the UK and Ireland, a small percentage of visitors will be flying in from all over the world; from as far afield as Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Italy, and Saudi Arabia.
