UK - The ABTT Show's organisers, The Association of British Theatre Technicians, have described its 29th edition staged at London's Royal Horticultural Halls 13-14 June "a resounding success".

With its attendance figures showing an increase on last year, UK visitor numbers were boosted by a strong attendance from mainland Europe as well as by attendees from the Theatres Trust annual conference which the ABTT co-sponsored.

The Show's three halls were packed to capacity with 100 exhibiting companies. Show director, Roger Fox comments, "It is particularly interesting to see how the show has evolved into a key industry event. This year we had many important product launches and with visitor numbers showing a steady increase year on year, we are confident of the show's continued growth into its third decade."
