As part of UBM Live's long term strategy to evolve International Confex, the event will move from Earls Court to ExCeL London in 2012.
Explaining the decision, Jonny Sullens, Portfolio Director of the Confex Group says: 'It's never an easy decision to move venues. International Confex has enjoyed a long and successful partnership with Earls Court, however taking our long term plans for the event into consideration we have decided that London's International Conference Centre and ExCeL London is best placed to meet the event's needs in the foreseeable future.'
Sullens continues: 'The close link ExCeL London has with London City Airport will make Confex more accessible to international visitors and exhibitors whilst the forthcoming developments including Crossrail and the proposed cable car will provide easy access for UK visitors. The synergy between the show and hosting it at London's International Conference Centre is key to the growth of the International buyers' program going forward.'
David Pegler, Managing Director, ExCeL London adds: 'We are delighted to add International Confex to our calendar of events alongside our existing portfolio of travel shows. Many of our own clients, such as the corporate and association markets make up a large proportion of the core audience that International Confex is targeting and this will ensure we can use our own marketing to raise awareness of the show to these audiences. We're looking forward to working closely with UBM in actively growing and supporting the show and its audience for the benefit of the industry and exhibitors.'
