TROPHEX 2020 – NEWS Trophex 2020 is returning to the NEC We carried out a survey during February 2019 asking attendees at 2017 / 2018 Trophex if they were likely to attend in 2020 with the show returning to the NEC along with some other questions as seen below. The results from the survey were very positive. The first result has shown that 89.7% plan to return to the show in 2020. This added to the 27.4% extra visitors that come to the show for the first time equates to an average of 17.1% increase in footfall each year at the NEC. (Based on 2015/16/17/18 figures). 64.7% of those that answered the survey felt the NEC was the perfect venue for Trophex with many saying that the transport links and facilities at the NEC made their visit easy and comfortable. 81.3% agreed that the parking charge of £16 being paid by the organisers of Trophex was an encouraging influence for them to attend as it helps to keep their costs down. Another interesting outcome from the survey was a third of visitors would like to see a wider diversity of exhibitors and products from sublimation to promotional product lines. With this in mind we are encouraging new exhibitors to the show from suppliers that compliment the Trophy, Awards, Engraving and Personalisation industry. Trophex 2020 is looking to be a popular show for exhibitors and visitors alike.
