The British Promotional Merchandise Association (BPMA) has announced the launch of an exclusive national member only exhibition. The show – to be known as The BPMA Show, will be co-located with a relaunch of the popular Education Day together with the prestigious BPMA Annual Awards Dinner.

The first edition of The BPMA Show will be held on the 14th September 2016 at the Wing, Silverstone with the associated events being located at the nearby Whittlebury Hall.

Nigel Bailey, BPMA Event Director commented: “BPMA are delighted to announce the first UK national September product exhibition, fulfilling for our members the long held demand within the industry for a proper September exhibition and a member only event. Timed right at the start of the crucial fourth quarter trading period, this will be a shell scheme based exhibition and will be followed by the event of the year, The BPMA Annual Awards Dinner 2016. The initial feedback and level of support has been fantastic!

“I am pleased to announce that we will be holding a revamped and powered up Education Day on the day prior to the show as well. The whole package provides a great couple of days dedicated to BPMA members and will be an event that they can be proud of; putting members face to face at the right time of year in the right way - product media at its best!”

Chairman of the BPMA, Matt Franks added: “The launch of The BPMA Show in September 2016 is a significant, strategic step forward for the association. It allows us to be truly independent, with control over our own destiny, and to lead the industry as we have committed to do. Adding the BPMA Education Day and Annual Awards Dinner will make for an amazing event; bringing professional suppliers and distributors together to really drive our industry forward.

“As a not-for-profit trade association, BPMA are in a unique position to keep exhibitor costs low and deliver maximum value. Any surplus generated enables us to further invest in the industry and our members own business, through Research, End User Engagement and Education. I urge all of our members to support The BPMA Show, helping us develop this fantastic industry to the size and level of professionalism which truly reflects what the industry deserves.”

Further details about the show, including innovations and exciting add-ons will be announced shortly.
