New Scientist Live returns for year two
New Scientist Live – crowned 'Best Consumer Show of 2016' by Exhibition News, is back for its second year at ExCeL London.
The show, running over four days from 28 September this year, will feature six immersive zones covering Humans, Engineering, Technology, Earth and Cosmos. With 120 speakers, five action-packed stages and sixty unforgettable experiences, it touches on all areas of human life.
Last year 22,467 intelligent, influential and high earning people attended the bustling launch event so it's no surprise that exhibitors such as BP, BT, BAE, Innovate UK and the European Space Agency have already signed up to appear alongside key educational institutes like Goldsmiths, Imperial College London, UCL and Middlesex University this year.
Last year the exhibition hall saw some of the biggest names in engineering, pharmaceuticals and science showing off their latest cutting-edge ideas and products - letting people see, hear, touch, smell and taste the future. This year will be no exception.
Blackwells, the largest academic and specialist bookseller in the UK, said after exhibiting at last year's event, 'Our sales figures were double what we predicted, mostly due to the highly engaged and interested audience that were present at the event'.
New Scientist Live really is like no other place on earth. Bursting with brilliant and unique experiences, every visitor will leave informed, inspired and transformed, eager to tell the world what they've learned and seen.
Mike Sherrard, event director said, 'New Scientist Live's launch in 2016 revolutionised the field of science communications, bringing the big ideas shaping our world to a large group of intelligent, curious and diverse group of people. We were privileged to open last year's show with ESA astronaut Tim Peake, fresh from the International Space Station, and this year's line-up promises to stimulate, surprise, challenge and amaze our visitors. Alongside these world-leading scientists, the five zones, and the VIP area, will mean people's biggest challenge will be fitting everything in.'
