The UK’s biggest
outdoor trade show for the sports and grounds maintenance industry, SAGE, (19th – 20th July
2023) has opened its books to exhibitors for 2023, with exclusive discounts for
those who book their space early.
Hosted
at the stunning Three Counties venue in Malvern, Worcestershire, SAGE focuses
on live demonstrations and experiences, which is a unique draw for exhibitors
and visitors, granting them the opportunity to thoroughly “try before they
buy”. The show returns in 2023, with sponsorship from Weibang® UK, and is set to be a highlight of
the year for the sports and outdoor maintenance industries, offering visitors
and businesses the chance to get hands-on with products to see how they perform.
Speaking
of how SAGE has been developed and enhanced for 2023, Exhibition Manager, Vicky
Panniers stated: “We’re so excited that SAGE is returning in 2023. We have had
a great response from previous exhibitors and are really looking forward to
being joined by many new names too.
“There
has been a great deal of work put into SAGE to develop the show for 2023 to
offer more for exhibitors and visitors, including the development of a new and
improved website, which includes a fantastic service directory. On top of this,
we have appointed a new, specialist PR agency to support with brand and event
awareness to attract more visitors. We have also already secured a great deal
of interest from new sectors.”
Sustainability
is an important focus for the 2023 event, and it will proudly play host to the
Sustainability Solutions for Grounds Specialists Summit live, in partnership with
GRASS, and show organisers will be setting
sustainability targets for SAGE to meet. It is also the nominated home event
for the new forum GRASS, who will play a key role in the Sustainability section.
Discussing
the show, Head of Environmental and Sustainability Stadia Projects at
Bio-Circle, Mark Tomlinson commented: “As an exhibitor, I value an outdoor show
and the space SAGE offers to bring live working demonstrations to the industry.
This is exactly what the industry has asked for and brings quality visitors to
a trade show who can see my products and services in action.”
Stands are currently
available with a 15% early bird discount until 11th November. Early
birds will also benefit from a free demonstration plot (where available) and
free entry into the all-new online service directory – maximising their
exposure and enhancing their promotion to visitors.
This year’s SAGE has
got all the pieces in place to make it a landmark event in the groundscare
calendar.
