EI Live!, the UK’s only dedicated AV and Home automation exhibition, this year in partnership with OneAV, is taking place at the Farnborough Exhibition Centre this September 29-30 and is open for registration right now. Get over to the show website and hit the Get Your Tickets tab at the top of the page to register.
The whole show team is looking forward to welcoming the install and AV industry back to the Farnborough Exhibition Centre for a vital chance for in person interaction and a chance to catch up on everything that is happening across the manufacturer, distributor and service provider landscape.
First stop when planning a trip to EI Live! 2021, is the website. You can register from here of course, but also plan the whole trip by searching for who is exhibiting, which companies and people are speaking in the Technical Theatre, you can also book hotel accommodation from there if planning on staying over.
The show team has been working closely with the venue to ensure all relevant government guidelines in place by the time of the show are in place. Rest assured, all COVID related procedures or recommendations existing at the time of the event will be in place across the show and venue.
EI Live! is now ten years old and will offer its broad pallet of home and building automation, entertainment and AV systems, but will also be welcoming exhibitors with offerings from related fields as well. The organisers announced some time ago that the show this year is completely sold out, so visitors will have a great choice of stands, demonstrations and learning experiences.
The Technical Theatre will return of course presenting many industry experts delivering valuable insight into a whole range of subjects to help expand business and make operations more targeted and successful. Check on the website soon for details of all the speakers, times and any other info you need to attend.
This venue offers the show the attractions of a London venue without the transport challenges of the capital, particularly as public transport can still be a challenge or concern for some. The venue is also surrounded by a large selection of great hotels from high-end luxury to sensible budget choices.The community of local hotels have new StaySafe procedures in place to provide additional protection for event attendees as part of a response to COVID-19. All the information you need is on the website.
Whether you are an established operator/installer, are new to the industry or are looking to expand your presence, EI Live! has the contacts and exhibitors you need.
Show organisers would also like to thank all the sponsors of this year’s show and in particular OneAV, main sponsors of this year’s event.
