The Meetings Show – the UK’s leading exhibition for the meetings, events, and incentives
community – has signed a three-year deal to remain at ExCeL London until 2026.
The two-day event, co-located with Business Travel Show Europe and TravelTech Show,
brings the business meetings and events industry together for connection, learning and
networking, and has been held at London’s largest events venue since 2021.
The Meetings Show, Business Travel Show Europe and TravelTech Show are part of
Northstar Travel Group, the leading global provider of business-to-business information and
marketing services serving all segments of the business and sports meetings, events, travel
and hospitality industries.
“We are absolutely thrilled to commit to ExCeL for another three years,” said Nick Powell,
managing director EMEA at Northstar Travel Group, whose team is currently busy working
behind the scenes to build on this year’s record-breaking success to create another
innovative edition in 2024.
“Since moving The Meetings Show to ExCeL it has well and truly felt like home. The
transport links are amazing – especially now that the Elizabeth Line serves the venue – and
the infrastructure that is being built around it is world class.”
Sustainability at ExCeL
ExCeL’s pioneering work in helping to tackle the climate emergency strengthened its appeal
to Northstar Travel Group. Certified carbon neutral in 2022 and the first UK venue to achieve
the internationally recognised PAS 2060 status, ExCeL’s values around sustainability and
community strongly align with those of The Meetings Show.
Nick Powell, managing director EMEA at Northstar Travel Group, added: “The synergy
between The Meetings Show and ExCeL in terms of values and vision is clear and we are
looking forward to continuing to work in partnership.”
Ian Senior, senior account manager at ExCeL London, said: “We’re delighted that under
Nick Powell’s stewardship The Meetings Show and its brand are going from strength to
strength. We will continue to support it and have a great presence at the show. We are very
excited to continue to talk about our expansion and development and the best place for us to
do that is at The Meetings Show for the next three years.”
Next year’s edition of The Meetings Show will take place on 19-20 June. It will give event
organisers the chance to meet with hundreds of suppliers, develop their industry knowledge
and stay ahead of current trends, streamline the event planning process, and expand their
network.
