Trident Exhibitions has announced the sale of its four manufacturing and technology exhibitions to Canon Communications of Los Angeles, California. The four shows are Practical Vacuum, Machine Building, MTEC and IPOT.
The co-location of these events alongside the Canon owned MEDTEC UK and 3C has successfully demonstrated the natural affinity and synergy between and among all six events. Canon Communications says it plans to further develop, position and promote the shows as a coordinated, full-featured, total resource for the UK's advanced design and manufacturing industries. The first shows to be held under Canon ownership will take place on February 13th- 14th 2008 at the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham.
Helen Thewlis, Trident's managing director said: "It is obviously sad to say goodbye to exhibitions we have known and developed over the years. However, we will still keep our involvement in the market through our regional shows, which are the three Instrumentation Series events and Displays Technology South."
