Ecobuild organiser UBM claims its first hosted buyer programme, inviting UK and international VIP buyers to the event, helped attract 45,000 attendees and 1,000 exhibitors to Excel over three days.
UBM chief executive David Levin has told Exhibition News large scale events and continuing investment in the emerging markets are responsible for an 11.9 per cent rise in its organic events revenue.
UBM Built Environment will debut a Southeast Asian edition of its Ecobuild sustainability building show next year, marking the third launch in Asia in 18 months.
