Demonstration Opportunity
Find out more about our Demonstrations
Since 2019 when we introduced live practical demonstrations to the event, they have rapidly become an important part of the event proving very popular with visitors. For 2024 we can offer a limited number of exhibitors the opportunity to give a demonstration either from their stand or in one of the demonstration areas. These opportunities are for practical demos and we are keen to hear from any interested exhibitors who would like to host a demonstration.

- Architectural Paint research and 3D scanning in a heritage context
