The organisers of Autumn Fair have issued a statement following the launch of the Connect feature, which was designed to bring suppliers and buyers together at the show.
Aftrer a meeting on Wednesday morning between the organisers and exhibitors, Nicola Meadows, Divisional Managing Director of Hyve Group, said: “I really appreciated speaking to the group of exhibitors, who shared their thoughts and feelings about the onsite experience, the delivery, and outcomes of Connect and the general feel across the show floor."
Nicola, pictured above, added: “We have listened and were able to have a constructive conversation and would like to reassure all our exhibitors that while we evaluate the overall show, gain further feedback, and follow up with each of them, their location and rates will not change. In the meantime, will not be increasing rates and the onsite offer will be frozen for the next 28 days.
“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all our exhibitors for persevering with us and continuing to provide feedback. We know how important these shows are to the industry and want to continue to listen to feedback and experiences to make the show the best it can be going forward.”
