Small success

The organiser of TCT Live and MM Live 2009, Rapid News Communications Group, has reported another successful year for the two co-located shows with increased visitor numbers.

The two day events, held at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry, attracted more than 3,500 attendees through its doors – up by around 10% against 2008. Visitors attended from as far afield as South Korea, Israel, USA and China, as well as from all major countries across Europe.

The 2009 edition of the TCT Live show was the biggest in the history of the show, with 4,000m² of exhibition space, industry focused seminar theatres and the Additive Manufacturing Conference, which attracts some the leading authorities in the manufacturing industry. The MM Live exhibition is in its second year and once again provided the growing industry with a much-needed platform to share its products and knowledge with micro manufacturers. At over 2,000m², the show was also an increase in floor space from the debut edition last year.

Alan Boor from Swiss Tec MicroMachining, underlined his confidence in the MM Live show: “For the second year running, the quality and quantity of the visitors, even in the current climate, has exceeded last years' event,” he enthused. “So to make it a hat trick, we have booked the same stand location for 2010.”

Duncan Wood, group director of the Rapid News Communications Group concluded: “Once again we are delighted to be able to report positive growth in both attendees and exhibitors. We set the bar high this year despite the tough conditions industry has experienced and so the success really does bode well for the 2010 events. Bookings are coming in for both shows and we have once again expanded the floor plan to enable us to welcome more cutting edge technologies to the event.”

TCT Live and MM Live 2010 will be held from 19-20 October at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry.
