Packaging Innovations NEC 2013 has been selected as a finalist in the prestigious Association of Event Organisers (AEO) Excellence Awards 2013 in the 'best tradeshow exhibition over 2,000sqm UK' category.

Packaging Innovations NEC 2013, which reported record attendance across the two days with over 5,000 visitors attending and 69% of exhibitors rebooking onsite for next year's show, will be judged alongside nine other show finalists.

A panel of industry judges will critique the show on a number of levels: its ability to produce innovative content and marketing campaigns, record improvements in performance and rebooking, visitor attendance and the show's longevity. The winners will be announced on 21 June 2013.

easyFairs, which has been running Packaging Innovations NEC successfully since 2005, has seen the show go from strength to strength. It now attracts over 320 exhibitors with world-class industry experts lining up to speak over the two days, year on year.

Alison Church, Event Director of easyFairs UK Ltd, commented: "We're absolutely delighted to be shortlisted for the 2013 AEO Awards. The entire team worked tirelessly to make the show a resounding success. The level of support and calibre of exhibitors and visitors continues to improve eash year.

Church continued, "The easyFairs team also spends a lot of time listening to what exhibitors and visitors really want and introducing new areas and features as a result of this feedback – and it's this type of team work that makes Packaging Innovations such a great show. I'm confident our consistent and innovative approach will ensure the show will be a very strong contestant to win."

The next easyFairs show will be Packaging Innovations London, taking place on 1 & 2 October 2013 at the Business Design Centre, Islignton. For full information and to register please visit www.easyFairs.com/PI-London.
