The annual Autosport International Show at the NEC, Birmingham is the largest exhibition for motorsport and high performance companies in Europe. Over the two trade days (Thursday 12th and Friday 13th January 2012) more than 28,000 trade visitors will transact over £400 million of business. The show continues, with a public bias, for two further days (Saturday and Sunday) until January 15th, attracting another 66,000 visitors. For more information, please visit www.autosport-international.com
The centrally located MIA Members' Lounge, at the heart of the show, has become the meeting place for the Motorsport Business Community. It encourages MIA members, their guests, UKTI International Business Exchange delegates and other international buyers to meet, network and conduct important business meetings in a professional but relaxed atmosphere. The MIA Members' Lounge attracts over 2000 visitors on both trade days, many of whom are international as MIA members export over 60% of their sales.
The organisers Haymarket Exhibitions Ltd, have chosen to co-locate their show's International Business Centre immediately alongside the MIA Members' Lounge to maximise networking facilities. Both these areas are designed to operate as one large meeting and hospitality space. There will be five confidential meeting rooms, a central kitchen, a substantial open “piazza” with tables and chairs, a central reception desk and a cloakroom. There are display areas for information and promotional messages throughout the space.
