What\u2019s New for 2026<\/h2>\n

\u2705 Masterclasses in the Champagne Suite<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Masterclass programme will now take place in the Champagne Suite \u2014 previously home to the Live Stage and 20×16\u201d Print Exhibition. This new layout allows delegates to exit directly into the Trade Show area after their seminars, helping drive more foot traffic to exhibitors. This model works especially well at our Regional Roadshows.<\/p>\n

\u2705 New Live Stage Layout<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Live Stage will move to the back corner of the Trade Show (previously the judging room), and the Elinchrom UK Live Stage will be positioned in the opposite back corner. This layout helps draw attendees deeper into the show and ensures strong footfall throughout the venue.<\/p>\n

\u2705 We\u2019re planning for growth<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’re committed to growing both attendance and exhibitor success. If you have ideas or suggestions, we\u2019re happy to hear them while we’re in the planning phase.<\/p>\n
