Platform on new construction, renovation, restoration and transformation
International exhibition organizer Easyfairs is joining forces with Futurebuild Events, organizer of the Futurebuild trade show in London, effective immediately. The two organizers are joining forces to further develop, in collaboration with the sector, the current concept of Futurebuild that focuses entirely on the needs of the market. With the acquisition of this innovative trade show, Easyfairs strengthens its global portfolio of building and construction trade shows. In the Netherlands, Easyfairs' events include Building Holland, Infra Relatiedagen, Installatie & Elektro Vakbeurs and Bouw Compleet.
At Futurebuild, 400 (leading) brands present themselves to more than 27,000 trade professionals. The upcoming edition of Futurebuild will be at London ExCel on March 3, 4 and 5, 2020. The event aims to drive change, focusing on the future of the industry by combining a high-quality content program.
As part of the acquisition, the event will be an important part of the building and construction exhibitions in Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark. This portfolio also includes the cream of the crop, Building Holland, which takes place annually at RAI Amsterdam. Futurebuild and Building Holland have many similarities and focus explicitly on innovation. Organizer Easyfairs aims to achieve far-reaching and intensive cooperation between the two events. This should lead to a further quality impulse and growth of both Futurebuild and Building Holland.
Martin Hurn, General Manager of Futurebuild Events, will continue to lead Futurebuild. The current exhibitions team will also continue to operate from the office in the heart of London. Martin Hurn: "We are very excited about this new chapter for Futurebuild. We remain focused on creating an event that acts as a driver for change and brings innovators and influencers together to share their latest ideas and knowledge. The partnership with Easyfairs and Building Holland allows us to continue developing this inspiring event while maintaining our vision, benefiting from continued investment and high-quality technologies, systems and processes that Easyfairs is known for."
Matt Benyon, CEO of Easyfairs UK & Global, adds: "This is a very exciting development for both parties. For Easyfairs, it means expanding our strong, existing portfolio, and building a position in the UK, as well as internationally in this sector. As an exhibition organizer, our mission is to give the construction community a glimpse into the future at all our events, in other words: visit the future. Something Martin and his team have also been working hard on over the past few years. The dedication of this experienced exhibition team is impressive. I look forward to working with Martin and his team to further develop Futurebuild for the industry."
