The show will provide visitors with a host of special features, educational sessions and hospitality events. There are a number of initiatives including:

• The M&IT Show buyer flyer – a first-class Pullman-style train charter to transport buyers from the Birmingham area (with stops enroute) directly into Kensington Olympia and return them home again.
• £20 cash-back scheme for long distance buyers – to include those based just 50 miles from Olympia.

There will be a wide range of educational seminars on offer – plus hosted breakfasts, lunches, happy hours and wine tastings.
