Venue

The Sign Show 2008 will be held at the award-winning Ricoh Arena in Coventry. Opened in 2005, this $113 million ‘state-of-the-art’ venue attracted an incredible 1 million visitor in the first year alone. In addition, it boasts the largest column-free exhibition space in the Midlands, has scooped several awards for its cutting-edge design and is only minutes from the M6 motorway.

Apart from the generous 6000 sq m of column-free exhibition space, the Ricoh Arena offers exhibitors a one-stop experience. Not only is there a stylish, purpose-built hotel on site but the brand new casino, “The Isle”, offers hours of entertainment after a hard day on the exhibition floor. What’s more, we are providing free car parking for exhibitors and visitors – that means if you are travelling to and from the venue each day, you need not worry about inflated parking fees.

Location, Location, Location...

Whilst sourcing the ideal location for The Sign Show, we noted that there was a high concentration of sign makers right across the UK, stretching from the South East of England, through London and up into the North Midlands, Coventry, Manchester, and the North West. With that in mind we set about finding a venue that not only ticked all the usual boxes, but was also on the doorstep of our target visitor.
