Industry confidence results in significant growth for The Meetings Show

Following the success of the inaugural Meetings Show in July, exhibitors from around the world are either significantly increasing their stand space or committing to exhibit for the first time at next year's show, which takes place from 8-10 July, 2014 at Olympia, London.
