If you’re taking time out of the office, then it has to be worthwhile. Now in its second year, the office* show is one of those events that is worth the effort. At London’s Earls Court, it’s one of the few shows that’s specifically for PAs, EAs and office managers, so all the exhibitors are relevant to you and your work. You’ll be able to find out about new products and services that will help you do your job better, particularly in these challenging times.
At this year’s event, you’ll be able to meet over 175 exhibitors, from office equipment suppliers to training providers, from IT solutions to corporate hospitality. There are also 40 seminars and demonstrations by the best speakers and trainers in the country, as well as keynote speeches from inspirational businesswomen such as Lord Sugar’s Apprentice colleague Karren Brady, Michelle Mone and Jacqueline Gold.
