MACH 2010 is 70 per cent sold

With just over a year to go before MACH 2010, just under 15,000 sq m of stand space has already been sold to nearly 200 exhibitors; over half of which are MTA members. While that's a good show of confidence in the industry, the MACH team are expecting space sales to peak much nearer to the show than in 2008. Graham Shearsmith, MTA exhibition manager commented: "We expect MACH to be a harder sell this year, but are encouraged by the commitment to space that we have received so far. The market does appear to be holding up, and the average stand size is in line with those of 2008. We know too that there are a good number of additional exhibitors who have not committed contractually to the show as yet, but will almost certainly be attending". MACH 2010 takes place from 7-11 June 2010 at the NEC Birmingham. For further details and to book stand space, visit website www.mach2010.com or contact Roger Kaye on 020 7298 6402.
