First and foremost we\u2019re focusing our attention on the Midlands\u2019 retired community, but the NEC\u2019s impressive transport links \u2013 which are perfect for this audience \u2013 ensure we\u2019re accessible for those based further afield too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>David Gallagher, NEC Account Manager (Exhibitions), added: \u201cWe\u2019re easily the most conveniently located venue in the country which was a major factor in attracting the target audience for this show. 75% of the UK\u2019s population live within a three-hour drive time of the venue and we have over 16,500 car parking space for visitors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition, the fact that we\u2019re connected to both Birmingham Airport and Birmingham International Railway Station ensures that we\u2019re at the heart of the transport network. Getting to the NEC is easy, which was a crucial selling point for the organisers who are focused on attracting the retired community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The popular 50+ Travel Show is also incorporated within each of the 50+ Shows across the country and will showcase the best options for travel for those in the 50+ age band.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"http:\/\/www.exhibitionindustrynews.co.uk\/2013\/09\/50-show-adds-nec-venue-portfolio\/\">The 50+ Show Adds The Nec To Its Venue Portfolio<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.exhibitionindustrynews.co.uk\">Exhibition Industry News<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 50+ Show, a lifestyle event targeted specifically at the retired population, will take place at the NEC in Birmingham for the first time on Friday 6 and Saturday 7 December 2013.
