The number of visitors to EAG Expo grew by almost a quarter this year as the show added two new co-located events.

Visitor numbers were up 23 per cent on last year, with 4,306 unique visitors over the three days of the show last month.
The show comprised of 100 stands occupying 4,958sq.m of space at ExCeL London while Bacta, the trade association that owns and operates the show, confirmed that visitor days at the show topped 6,000, a 42 per cent increase on 2024.
Nick Harding, who succeeded Martin Burlin as chairman of EAG Expo following this year’s event, commented: “We’ve drilled down into the attendance data and there’s an awful lot of reasons to be really optimistic about the show’s future.
“Exhibitors want to see buyers and our analysis confirms that 84 per cent of those attending EAG, SIE and LCG were defined as decision-makers within their organisations.
“My view as someone who has attended many different industry shows both in the UK and on the international stage is that the number of businesses represented by decision-making visitors is a far more insightful way of measuring the value of an event in helping its exhibitors to achieve their corporate and commercial objectives.”
