The British Motor Museum attended The Meetings Show 2024, held on 19 and 20 of June at ExCeL London. As a premier event for the meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions industry, The Meetings Show provided an excellent platform for the Museum to showcase its exceptional conference and meeting facilities. All profits generated from conferences and events at the British Motor Museum directly support the charitable trust dedicated to preserving its extensive vehicle & archive collection and ensuring that the story of British motoring continues to inspire and inform generations to come. The Museum exhibited on the stand hosted by ‘Conference Coventry and Warwickshire’ alongside other venues from the area, showcasing the region as a key destination for national and international business tourism.

Throughout the two-day event, the team and their stand attracted significant interest from attendees, reflecting the Museum’s growing reputation as one of the Midlands' leading venues for conferences and events. The conference sales team enjoyed engaging with a diverse array of industry professionals and sharing insights into how the venue’s unique offerings can add value their events.

A highlight of the show was the successful drinks reception hosted by the British Motor Museum on the afternoon of June 19. This networking event provided an invaluable opportunity for industry colleagues to connect, exchange ideas, and explore potential collaborations.

Toby Batchelor, Head of Commerce, attended the show and commented: “The Meetings Show provides a fabulous opportunity to engage with existing and potential clients. It's a chance for us to share news and developments from the Museum and Conference Centre and for clients to communicate their challenges, current needs and upcoming events. By collaborating at the event planning stage, we can proactively identify the best ways to leverage the added value that the Museum has to offer.

The Meetings Show 2024 proved to be the busiest yet for our team, with over 30 pre-booked appointments across two days and many more event professionals visiting the stand during the show! We look forward to continuing the conversations that started at the Show and I'm confident that we'll be welcoming lots of the contacts we've met here to the Museum over the coming weeks and months!"

The conference sales team looks forward to developing the connections made at The Meetings Show 2024 and building new relationships across the industry.
