Details have been announced for the Bike Place Show 2019.
Now in its ninth year, the show will switch venue to the Warwickshire Event Centre and move date to 30th June to 2nd July. Based in Leamington Spa, the new venue will allow the show to expand outdoors to a two-acre paddock exhibition space.
Exhibitors will include names such as Santa Cruz, Fox, Ultrasport, ION, Kali, Jungle Products, Paligap, Dakine, Fli Distribution, Limar, Cyclorise and more. The show will also feature a demo area for road, mountain bike, urban, kids and e-bikes. With increased internal and outdoor exhibition space, organisers have said they are keen to stress that space can still be made available for any companies thinking of attending this year.
“We’re really pleased with the response to the move from our existing exhibitors,” said organiser Sean Reynolds. “Some of these brands have been with the show for many years and they see the value of both the event and the change in date as it gives them a quality, engaged audience for both their 2019 and 2020 product.
“With the larger exhibition space we are now able to open up the show for even more exhibitors so if you have been thinking about attending a trade show to get yourself in front of retailers, please give us a call. We work closely with our exhibitors to promote both the show and their brands to the trade and 2019 will see a marked step up in this regard.
“For 2019, we have recruited Wales based bike industry specialists Red Cloud Marketing to help with the pre-show promotional duties and manage the media attendance at the show. It’s something we are very committed to on our exhibitors’ behalf.”
