The decision was made by show director Roger Fox, supported by the Show's administrators, Pandemonium Productions Ltd, headed by Simon Garrett. According to the ABTT, the new cost-effective exhibition packages available exclusively in The Assembly Halls are ideal for new exhibitors, particularly key service and educational organizations. Roger Fox says: "ABTT Theatre Show is a unique forum and is a vital technical showcase for professionals in theatre and auditoria. By encouraging new exhibitors from areas such as PA/VA, video and building services, the show broadens its appeal. We're confident that The Assembly Hall will add value to show as a whole."
ABTT reports that over 72% of the combined floor space in the Lawrence and Lindley Halls has been re-booked by 80 of the 111 companies at last year's show. Whilst a handful of prime open sites can still be booked in The Lindley Hall, currently only nine sites are available in The Lawrence Hall. Meanwhile, the Association is also conducting a targeted promotional campaign to ensure that the show's visitor attendance surpasses previous records.
