Welcome
Kbbreview Industry Awards 2010: The Gallery
With the judging for the kbbreview Industry Awards 2010 almost complete, our attention now turns to the event itself and, new for this year, the involvement the awards is having with kbb Birmingham.
While the annual awards event has always been held alongside the kbb Birmingham show in its alternating years, it has never featured strongly in the exhibition halls itself until now.
With kbbreview signed on as kbb Birmingham's official media partner, there was a unique opportunity to bring the two events closer together and the result will be one of the major features of the show the kbbreview Industry Awards Gallery.
For the first time, visitors to the show will be able to see all the finalists' entries displayed in full a real showcase for them, and a chance for a much wider audience than just the judges to see why they've got that far and agree or disagree with the panel's choices.
The kbbreview Industry Awards Gallery is a first in the history of the event, but for us it is a continuation of our desire to open up the event for all to see. I'm sure there'll be plenty of debate over who should win and who shouldn't and what does or doesn't make for good design or business strategy, but that's the point letting everyone see what it takes to win an award.
So if you're heading for the show, make sure you stop by and see for yourself.
The kbbreview Industry Awards Gallery will be at stand EH116 for the duration of the show.
If you're interested in coming to the event on the evening of March 22 you can book tables of 10 or individual seats. For details, click here, call Anna on 020 8515 2113 or email annaliddle@taylistmedia.com.
