Interbuild 2007 has joined forces with leading electrical and lighting internet portal, Voltimum, to create a dedicated centre for the trade during the five day event.
With 10 industry heavyweights already confirmed - including Philips, Draka and Osram - the new Voltimum Centre in Hall 3/3a has reached capacity and is set to put the spark back into the electrical and lighting scene at the UK’s biggest building show, which runs from 28 October to 1 November at Birmingham’s NEC.
“With Voltimum on board and more electrical and lighting companies signed-up than ever before, we’re confident that the centre will become one of the show’s biggest attractions,” says Interbuild Event Director Gordon Thomas.
The specially created area will feature a meeting lounge, information centre and seminar theatre where the trade can come together to tackle issues ranging from energy efficiency and renewable energy through to security, power and control.
“It’s especially exciting as this is the first time that Interbuild has partnered with Voltimum,” says Gordon. “Having such big brands back in electrical and lighting is a fantastic feat for us and a terrific testament to the team’s renewed focus on this area.”
