The Outdoor Trade Show 2018 is now open for bookings, and will take place from Tuesday July 3rd to Thursday July 5th, 2018 at its new venue, EventCity in Manchester.
The booking form and latest floor plan are now available to download at www.outdoortradeshow.com.
"We have had a fantastic reaction to the new venue and the move to the North West so far, with many of last year’s exhibitors having rebooked and some increasing the size of their stands,” said OTS organiser Marta Williams. “We have also had interest from new brands to join the show, due to the continued support from major retailers to bring their buying teams in July next year. We are once again supporting OIA Members by offering a discount on stand space.”
As OTS and ROKS 2017 exhibitors have had the opportunity to book in advance, the organisers have already received around 40 bookings, including 2pure, Ark Consultants, Bradshaw Taylor, Buffera, Burton McCall, Cadac, Grangers, Lyon Equipment, Hi-Tec, Keela, Scott Sports, Silva, Thule, Vango and Vibram.
The decision to move to the new Manchester venue follows research with retailers and exhibitors that reflected a common desire for the creation of ‘one unified trade show’ with dates best suited before order books close and at a location convenient for both Northern and Southern based retailers, and as ROKs organisers shared the same objective, they have decided to merge with OTS for 2018.
