Publisher announces series of regional shows

UK: The publisher of the UK trade magazines ACR Journal and Heat Pumps Today, has announced the launch of a new series of regional one-day UK exhibitions.

The first ACR Regional Exhibition will take place on Thursday, May 18, 2023 at The Arden Hotel, Birmingham. Dates and locations for further events will follow. 

Prices for the first “table top” event are advertised at £400 for a single 3m x 2m stand and £750 for a 6m x 4m space. Sponsorship packages and technical briefing opportunities are also available.

Commenting on the new series of events, magazine publisher Juliet Loiselle said: “It’s felt that the feel and, of course, associated costs of hosting smaller regional events fits in with what suppliers are looking for. In addition, they can look forward to the opportunity to speak one-to-one with so many of their local clients and visitors throughout the day.”
