iii new 20,000sqm opened in 2018 NEW BUILD SUPPLEMENT Not long ago, exhibition venues were happy being anonymous boxes, located in convenient transport hubs for pragmatic, utilitarian reasons. Nowadays, events have proliferated in genre, ambition and scale, and an event venue must be a destination in and of itself. A great venue is a testament to the ambition of not only the industry it serves, but the region in which it is found. Technical speciļ¬ cations have also increased, with demand for plush on-site meetings, gala dinners, luxury hotels and leafy outdoor spaces. The possibilities for your event are now more exciting than ever, and the new builds contained herein contain something for everyone. Tom Hall, EW supplements editor
