After selling out their initial stand in less than a week, London & Partners has grown their stand at The Meetings Show UK by a further 20%.
The 2014 London & Partners stand will be 275% bigger than their 2013 stand.
“The support for the show from our partners was so significant that we had to increase our presence to meet demand,” comments Zanine Adams, Head of Business Development UK at London & Partners. “The Meetings Show delivered strong results for London based venues and hotels last year, which combined with growing confidence across the events industry, has resulted in increased demand in 2014. The Meetings Show is the only event of this calibre in the UK and we look forward to seeing it deliver value again in July.”
London & Partners will invite visitors to The Meetings Show 2014 to create their own London stories. Visitors will discover how they can combine receptions in the great halls of kings and queens with breath-taking panoramic views of London’s iconic skyline at an elevated dinner.

Barbican’s Head of Sales, Jackie Boughton said: “London & Partners focus on an increased stand gives venues like the Barbican an ideal platform to showcase our industry leading facilities and creativity to the UK’s only hosted buyer led audience. Focused time with qualified buyers is the most efficient way to maximise our time at a trade show, which is why we will also be sponsoring one of The Meetings Show’s hosted buyer lounges.”
The Meetings Show’s Event Director, Steve Knight: “London is not only our host city, it has clearly demonstrated its support for The Meetings Show by bringing some of the world’s best known venues and hotels to our show.
