The exhibition organiser has traditionally hosted an exhibition at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thejockeyclub.co.uk\/sandown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sandown Racecourse<\/a> in Esher, Surrey in spring, followed by a second edition in Telford, Shropshire in autumn. The merge of the two events will create the UK\u2019s biggest pet exhibition, making the event more efficient for both exhibitors and visitors alike.<\/p>\n<p>In an unprecedented move, PATS will take over the entirety of Telford\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tictelford.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">International Centre<\/a>, playing host to more exhibitors than ever before at its 2024 event. The show \u2013 which is scheduled for 29 September until 1 October next year \u2013 has been created in response to industry feedback to have one, key event at which the entire industry can unite and network.<\/p>\n<p>Attendance at the 2024 edition of PATS is predicted to see a sharp increase, thanks to the merging of both Esher\u2019s visitor numbers and those who traditionally attend the Telford edition. Footfall at Telford has already seen a steady increase, with figures this year up six per cent on 2022, and 13 per cent on 2021. The new united event will now encompass all pet enthusiasts across both the north and south of England, as well as those from Scotland, Ireland and further afield.<\/p>\n<p>Exhibitors keen to show at the event are advised to enquire early, due to increased demand for floorspace. Smart Display is a regular at show and, having installed an impressive four stands at last month\u2019s show, is already planning its return with its regular exhibitors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone commented on our stand and said how much they loved it,\u201d said Emma Bowes, head of commercial at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebarkingbakery.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Barking Bakery<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s a fun brand which is replicated in our design and no-one has a pink stand, so it attracts attention. We also find that people are recognising the brand more because we re-use the stand from one show to the next.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the other end of the spectrum, <a href=\"https:\/\/catit.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Catit<\/a> launched its product at this season\u2019s PATS, and was happy to have entrusted Smart Display with its debut stand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were launching a product so the stand had to be the right platform from which to do that,\u201d says Ian Parker, sales manager. \u201cWe arrived to see the stand complete and we were ever so pleased; it definitely stood out compared to the other stand around us. We loved the backlit logo and the impact of the branding and it did the job; we had a busy few days and saw the customers that we wanted to see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>If you are considering exhibiting at next year\u2019s PATS, it\u2019s not too early to start thinking about your stand design.
