With online event in September 2021
FENEX, the UK fenestration sector’s first virtual exhibition platform, will host its first ever in-person expo at the popular Telford International Centre in April of 2023.
The announcement of an in-person event at what is the spiritual home of UK fenestration completes the vision of FENEX. It was launched as a virtual platform in 2020 during the pandemic, and has continued to grow ever since. In 2021, FENEX will take place online from 8th-11th September and there will be a full virtual events calendar throughout 2022. For companies who wish to attend an in-person event, there is now the FENEX Expo at Telford in April 2023, although it is anticipated that the majority of exhibitors will take part in both the digital and physical shows.
Our UK Construction Event Calendar typically includes over 1,000 forthcoming exhibitions, webinars, conferences, etc.
Co-founder of FENEX, Lee Clarke, said, “We see the show at Telford as a strategic part of our future plans to accommodate the need for live and virtual exhibitions, now and in the years to come. We believe the TIC really is the fenestration industry’s ideal choice. After many conversations with key industry figures it was a no-brainer to push forward with the sector’s first hybrid event.”
Fellow co-founder, Jason Grafton-Holt, commented, “This is a major step for us and continues to build our vision of a trade show that offers both virtual and in-person events. Telford was incredibly popular with both visitors and exhibitors so it was the natural choice for us. It’s clear there has been demand for a long time to go back to what is now seen as our sector’s spiritual home. FENEX is now the platform that offers every option to every company and that is a very exciting prospect.”
FENEX will be investing significant funds in their programme of shows over the next few years, with £850,000 of budget going towards the marketing of the events, the software used for the virtual exhibitions, and, of course, the Telford show in 2023.
