What sets the ABTT Theatre Show apart?

The ABTT Theatre Show is a bit different to your average exhibition. It is about the community of technical experts who deliver live performance at their annual gathering to network, to discuss, to discover and to develop.

It is a shop front for many suppliers of goods and services, who over the year, stand to benefit from the exposure they have with this community. It is all about the exhibitor to exhibitor connection, the visitor to visitor connection and the visitor to exhibitor connection.

The networking in the industry along with the sharing of information and opportunity lies at the core of The ABTT Theatre Show offer. Every year, our exhibitors present their latest products to the marketplace. The gathering of over 2,000 people at the show is the stimulus for many new product launches.

Why should I exhibit?

– As the only trade show dedicated solely for theatre and live events, the renowned ABTT Theatre Show is the opportune time to promote your brand, develop relationships within the community and secure new connections and deals.

– The ABTT Theatre Show retains affordable rates for exhibitors enabling companies of all sizes, big and small, to exhibit side by side. By offering a range of charity, package and space only stands we ensure there is an option for everyone.

– As the ABTT is a registered charity, the ABTT Theatre Show is presented annually for the benefit of the industry with any money being redistributed into the development of the Industry. Exhibitors at the Show not only invest in their own industry but also ensure visitors may attend without charge.

What is the layout for the show floor?

We have decided to retain a similar layout as we had in 2023, offering wide centre and cross aisles and creating many more corner sites. Not ‘cast in stone’ the layout can evolve subject to the needs of our exhibitors and the show. This has included bring the ABTT stand into the main hall and recreating the very successful AAPTLE Lounge which will be a large a seating area for groups to arrange meetings and network.

This seating area will also be surrounded by Industry Associations and nearby to “Education Alley” which will be a “go to” area for colleges and students attending the event. This along with the ABTT Skills Workshops were a huge draw for students and technicians alike last year with a lot of positive feedback and so we are recreating this for 2024.
