Business Startup and Great British Business Show - feedback

One for the UK members, has anyone been (or going to) the Earls Court Business Start Up show and the Great British Business Show?

We exhibited at the Biz Start Up show a couple of years ago, and thinking of doing it next year, so wondered down to Earls Court today for a bit of a recce and to get some ideas.

The shows definitely grown since we were last there, and seems to have incorporated the Great British Business Show. A very busy event, and certainly packed out. Visitor numbers seemed to have overwhelmed the organizers, with long queues outside the event, even though we had already pre-registered online! In the end, security just simply opened all the doors and waved us all in

Catering facilities were pretty poor for the volume of people as well, I remember the Birmingham NEC show a few years ago seemed a much better organised event.

Anyone taking their car down, set off early as the carparks will be full before dinnertime.

But a good show and certainly worth a visit. If you are looking to capture a UK small business or start up audience, then it could well be worth considering a stand for next year.
