9 EXHIBITION & AWARDS EVENT OPPORTUNITIES BALPPA Events are always well patronised, you can also take up the opportunity to exhibit as well as sponsor at our event. The 2017 Annual Dinner played host to 160 attendees alone. The Visitor Attraction Expo and EAG Expo boasts over 7,000 attendees annually. This NEW event has been missed from the FEC & Indoor Play Industry event schedule and we anticipate this will grow from strength to strength. The event aims to provide an innovative environment where operators, manufacturers, entrepreneurs, investors, inventors, play educators, play researchers and suppliers can connect. We are looking for exhibitors that will reflect the inspiring and relaxed atmosphere of this Trade and Awards event. If you are a supplier with an interesting new product to offer the Indoor Play Centre and Leisure Industry this is the place to be seen. Interested in becoming a BALPPA Member? Take up your membership during or within 2 weeks of the Trade & Awards Event and we will discount your joining fee by 50% of your exhibitor space costs..another opportunity not to be missed!! Become a member now and pay your membership beforehand and access the BALPPA Member Exhibition Space Rates BALPPA Events always provided us with a great opportunity to network. We made some valuable connections and made some great friends, and I now the advice from some have made me direct savings. Janice Dunphy Web Adventure Park, York

10 EXHIBITION & AWARDS EVENT OPPORTUNITIES WHY EXHIBIT? Exhibitors can benefit from: Keeping up to date with industry professionals and brands relevant to the industry Opportunities to align your brand with a trade association with over 80 years of experience of the Leisure and Tourism Industry; an association recognised by central government. Opportunities to increase your exposure to a diverse audience including investors, directors, innovators and entrepreneurs that you may not meet otherwise; Connecting with a wide range of business people who are potentially looking to invest in new equipment, diversify within existing business or set up a new business or considering entering the Indoor Play Market Place You get just as much out of BALPPA FEC INDOOR PLAY TRADE EXHIBITION & AWARDS (in fact we believe more) than you would at other top exhibitions for a fraction of the cost. BALPPA FEC TRADE EXHIBITION& AWARDS is a great opportunity for businesses and organisations in the Leisure Industry to come together to showcase their offerings and connect with others. Whether you re exhibiting your business or simply attending for the day, it s a great reminder that the UK Leisure Industry is diverse, pioneering, and thriving. Paul Kelly, CEO BALPPA
