UK - The Association of British Theatre Technicians' annual showcase, The ABTT Theatre Show, staged in London's Royal Horticultural Halls on 16-17 June, has expanded into a third hall - the Assembly Hall.

The decision was made by show director Roger Fox, supported by the Show's administrators, Pandemonium Productions Ltd, headed by Simon Garrett. According to the ABTT, the new cost-effective exhibition packages available exclusively in The Assembly Halls are ideal for new exhibitors, particularly key service and educational organizations. Roger Fox says: "ABTT Theatre Show is a unique forum and is a vital technical showcase for professionals in theatre and auditoria. By encouraging new exhibitors from areas such as PA/VA, video and building services, the show broadens its appeal. We're confident that The Assembly Hall will add value to show as a whole."

ABTT reports that over 72% of the combined floor space in the Lawrence and Lindley Halls has been re-booked by 80 of the 111 companies at last year's show. Whilst a handful of prime open sites can still be booked in The Lindley Hall, currently only nine sites are available in The Lawrence Hall. Meanwhile, the Association is also conducting a targeted promotional campaign to ensure that the show's visitor attendance surpasses previous records.
