In the exhibition industry, most European exhibition brands head into India for a piece of the action. Of course, this is a seemingly sensible approach to extending your business and globalising your brand.
Any local market in Europe is saturated – so unless you access a new event in a newly evolving market, you have to look outside your regional boundaries.
And India is a growing economy. But I would suggest that very few European exhibition brands are actually making money in India.

World Travel Market. One of our (UK) biggest shows I believe. A golden goose perhaps? 7% average rises in the south hall on electrics, 11% + rises in the North Hall. Increase passed to my client: 0% Why: Because I am not stupid. How much has the economy shrunk by in the last 12 months. What is the inflation rate currently? Deflationary isn't it?
I pass those increases on in today's climate, WTM very possibly loses an exhibitor next year. (A big one). I lose a client. (A good one). The show loses…

Remember way back when the circus came to town?
When you would wonder in awe at all the sights, sounds, smells, noises? You would watch the lion tamer, the elephants parade the ring and the clowns piling into that teeny tiny car. Now think back and remember the plate twirler. You know the ones who pitched a plate high in the air and caught it on the end of a stick in mid-twirl. He would then get another plate spinning on top of another stick and throw it up to land, still spinning, on th…

Having had a bad back recently, I decided I must take the plunge and go for a swim to ease the pain and set my ageing body back onto the road to recovery.
I had a condition called a 'hurty back'. A condition that afflicts men only. Women just get on with it!
Any how, I decided that swimming in the UK is not a pleasurable experience.
Upon arriving pool side, bleary eyed at 06:40am you are presented with 3 narrow lanes.
One for slow swimmers, one for medium and one for fast. I took the ‘safe’…
