Slide 2009 shows promise

Slide 2009 returns to Manchester Central from 15-17 February 09 and with around 5 months to go till the doors open, almost 90 per cent of the available space has already been snapped up by over 80 exhibitors.

The Snowsport Industries of Great Britain (SIGB), which owns Slide, recognises the importance of a tradeshow that brings together retailers and suppliers in a single location. Despite many changes in business to business sales channels, there remains a vital need for an effective focal point for the annual sales programme and the high early uptake of Slide exhibitors underpins this belief.

Slide 09 will showcase an estimated 100 exhibitors, representing around 400 different brands; from some of the biggest brands in the industry to the newest fledgling companies hoping to make an impact in this competitive market.

Show organiser, Lesley Beck has been ‘very pleased' with take-up by exhibitors. "We'd worked very hard during the spring to evaluate a range of venues and spent a long time researching, analysing  and deliberating every aspect of the show before coming up with what we hoped would be a really attractive offering. The response from exhibitors has been hugely encouraging and we're now looking forward to the approaching autumn and winter in anticipation of a sell-out show."
