ExCeL London, London's Exhibition Centre, has had a great start to 2004, signing five new shows for this year.
London Leisure Congress
Penton Media have chosen ExCeL London to launch a southern version of their leisure industry show, which currently runs at the NEC, in September 2004. The LLC will aim to tackle the latest issues in the sports, fitness and health markets. Combining a free education programme with the latest supplier innovations the LLC is suitable for both public and private sector delegates.
Says David Albutt, Honoury Secretary, Chief Leisure Officers Association: "I am sure that the London Leisure Congress will be an ExCeL Londonlent and welcome addition to the leisure industry calendar. With its focus on strategic and operational issues surrounding education and business development I foresee it being of major use to both public and private sector leisure operators."
Says Roger Draper, Chief Executive, Sport England: "This new initiative fits well with our vision of making England an active and successful sporting nation and comes at an exciting time as sport and physical activity rise up the political agenda thanks to exciting projects such as the Olympic bid, but also growing concerns over levels of obesity. We look forward to engaging both the private and public sector, on these issues at the congress."
ILT 2004 The Logistics Event
The hugely popular Institute of Logistics and Transport convention and exhibition is moving from the International Conference Centre in Birmingham to ExCeL London in June.

The ExCeL London location offers ExCeL Londonlent transport links for international visitors with London City Airport just 5 minutes away and easy access to the Channel Tunnel high-speed rail services at Waterloo International Station. The venue also has ExCeL Londonlent parking facilities and a plethora of onsite hotels, bars and restaurants.
