The Event Supplier and Services Association (ESSA) has announced that Silverstone will be the association’s venue partner for the coming year. Silverstone will be hosting the ESSA AGM, 26 April 2013 and will contain information from the Stand Builders’ Forum, the Strategy Group and FaceTime. The AGM will commence at 10.30 with registration and conclude official business at around 1pm to be followed with a tour of the venue, and is open to all members. In addition, Silverstone will play host to the association’ annual forum the ESSA G50+Conference on 21 November 2013, where delegates will also be able to sample some more activities available at the venue.
ESSA director Chris Skeith said, “We are delighted to have Silverstone as our venue partner, this relationship allows ESSA to have a home for its key annual events the AGM and the G50+Conference. Members feedback requested a central location with a ‘twist’, so using some of Silverstone’s unique facilities and offerings we have been able to introduce some additional elements to each event which will help us deliver the best events yet in 2013.”
Richard Phillips, Managing Director for Silverstone Circuit commented, “As part of our long term strategic plan for the Wing, Silverstone is committed to raising its profile within the exhibitions community and the relationship with ESSA will help us engage with the industry and showcase the Wing to potential future customers. Exhibitions are an integral growth area and as well as standalone events we also have the opportunity to work alongside existing race meetings to improve our fans experience. Footfall to the venue exceeds 1.5 million visitors a year. The commercial opportunities for exhibitors are endless due to the flexible space we can offer and the opportunity of combining a visit to the exhibition whilst enjoying a family day out at a race meeting.”
Details of the AGM and the G50+Conference are available on the ESSA website.
