No business like show business

Whether you’ve been in the industry for decades or you’re just starting out, visiting a trade show provides a plethora of networking opportunities, viewing products in person, and talking to the experts. And this year’s UK Concrete Show is no exception – with more than 100 exhibitors under one roof at the NEC from 20-21 March, you can make contacts that could take your business from good to great!

If you’re a key decision maker, one of the most significant advantages of attending the UK Concrete Show is the opportunity to network with professionals from the concrete industry. From fellow visitors to potential clients and suppliers, it’s one of the best environments for building valuable connections. Face-to-face interactions can foster trust and open doors to collaborations and partnerships in a way that a phone or video call can’t compete with. It’s always good to put a face to a name and these conversations can help make future dealings that little bit more personal. After all, we’d all rather do business with people we like.

Ascertaining key trends is another aspect of visiting a show – it’s so much simpler when everyone has their products in the same place at the same time. This can help your business evolve, find smarter solutions, and ultimately, save money. It goes without saying that there is a key focus on sustainability within the construction industry and having open conversations can help you and your team work more harmoniously with the environment. This year’s Innovation Hub highlights some of the best additions and you can view a curated selection at the show.

We already know that many exhibitors at this year’s UK Concrete Show plan to show off their newest products and will use the opportunity to launch some brand-new ones into the market. Be curious, ask questions, and weigh up investments considering ROI.

This year’s show offers plenty of potential for learning and working on your own development. The seminar programme for this year is packed and including some of the industry’s most pertinent topics including Meeting the challenge of Net Zero:
Navigating the future of sustainable concrete; Prevention or Cure? Exploring advantages in concrete construction; All Matters Concrete; Celebrating Innovation: Showcasing the pinnacle of concrete technology and Keeping the concrete industry safe: New legislation and industry best practices.
