Care Show Birmingham achieves 28% visitor increase

UBM Live has claimed that nearly 3,000 people came to The NEC for Care Show Birmingham, a rise of more than a quarter.

The exhibition saw a new section – the Dementia Care Show – which provided advice tailored to care providers, social services, GPs and NHS professionals that are involved in delivering dementia care.

In all, 2,946 visitors came to the show on 12-13 November, up 28 per cent from 2012.

“We are delighted with this year’s visitor figures and feedback as it proves that this is a growing industry, and with the introduction of the Dementia Care Show, Care Show Birmingham provided visitors with a wide range of content to ensure best practise covering the entire care sector,” said event director James Samuel.

“We are fully committed to continuing the promotion of the need for dementia care and be seen as the leading event in the marketplace within this topic and the wider care industry.”

The show has already seen an 80 per cent rebook for next year.
