New Scientist Live likely to attract 30,000 science-curious visitors this September
Posted by
New Scientist Live, held at ExCel London, will run over four days from 28 September. The event will feature six immersive zones covering Humans, Engineering, Technology, Earth and Cosmos. With 120 speakers, five stages and sixty experiences, it touches on all areas of human life.
Last year 22,467 people attended the launch event and exhibitors such as BP, BT, BAE, Innovate UK and the European Space Agency have already signed up to appear alongside key educational institutes like Goldsmiths, Imperial College London, UCL and Middlesex University.
Last year the exhibition hall saw some of the biggest names in engineering, pharmaceuticals and science showing off their latest ideas and products – letting people see, hear, touch, smell and taste the future.
Blackwells said after exhibiting at last year’s event: “Our sales figures were double what we predicted, mostly due to the highly engaged and interested audience that were present at the event”.
Mike Sherrard, event director said: “New Scientist Live’s launch in 2016 revolutionised the field of science communications, bringing the big ideas shaping our world to a large group of intelligent, curious and diverse group of people. We were privileged to open last year’s show with ESA astronaut Tim Peake, fresh from the International Space Station, and this year’s line-up promises to stimulate, surprise, challenge and amaze our visitors. Alongside these world-leading scientists, the five zones, and the VIP area, will mean people’s biggest challenge will be fitting everything in.”
