Visit the UK’s No. 1 show - SPATEX 2015 - One hundred confirmed exhibitors and counting!

Here’s ten compelling reasons why SPATEX 2015 (February 1-3 at Coventry’s Ricoh Arena) is the UK’s essential wet leisure exhibition to attend.

1. The UK has only one No. 1 wet leisure industry exhibition – and that’s SPATEX 2015. With all the main UK and international manufacturers and suppliers, no other show brings together under one roof such a high calibre of exhibitors.

2. Not seen before – One-in-three exhibitors were not seen at SPATEX 2014.

3. The UK’s largest wet leisure showcase – it represents the whole industry.

4. Exclusive – new product launches, competitions and offers not seen anywhere else.

5. A relevant, current and comprehensive seminar programme other shows would die for! New for 2015 a second seminar programme will run parallel to the highly popular ISPE Workshops. Visit www.spatex.co.uk for more details and update your skill set for free.

6. Calling leisure operators – if you missed the STA (Swimming Teachers’ Association) essential pool plant update in November, the seminar will be repeated on Monday February 2 (11.00) for free!

7. Dedicated spa day – On Tuesday February 3 the ISPE Workshops will focus on spas - a must-attend event for anyone involved in their construction, design, installation or maintenance.

8. Stellar line-up of experts - SPATEX has the support of all of the main associations.

9. Simply the best – Network with the industry's movers and shakers on Monday February 2 at the SPATEX networking party in the Ricoh’s Legends' Lounge.

10. Free taxi service - SPATEX is offering a free taxi from Birmingham International Airport (20 minutes away) for all international visitors. Provide the SPATEX office (T: +44 (0) 1264 358 558) with your flight details and we will do the rest.

Visitor registration is free and simple by clicking here.

The Jaguar Exhibition Hall, Ricoh Arena, Coventry CV6 6GE is easy to get to - just 500 yards off the M6 and within two hours commuting time of 75 per cent of the population, it offers 2,000 free on-site car parking spaces.

For further information, please contact Michele or Helen on +44 (0) 1264 358 558 or visit www.spatex.co.uk.
