Brand new features at Parkex 2013
This year, for the first time ever, Parkex will be running two special features; the ‘Parkex Power Pitch’ and ‘Ask the Consultant’. The ‘Parkex Power Pitch’ will provide an opportunity for exhibitors to discuss the services and products their organisation has to offer. Each pitch will last 5 minutes with a maximum of 6 pitches per session. Trialled and tested at many other BPA events, this feature has proved extremely popular and it is an excellent opportunity to help launch new products and services, and to introduce new businesses to the wider industry. Already signed up to pitch are ANPR International, Jacobs, BBFI, Alpha Parking, Apex Lighting, Paybyphone, Videalert, New Park Security and many, many more.
Special feature, ‘Ask The Consultant’ is an unscripted discussion and will provide attendees a chance to ask a panel of expert consultants about a wide variety of parking topics. The panel members include, Luke Harding from Alpha Parking Ltd, Jon Little from NSL Project Centre, Simon Morgan from Buchanan Computing, Peter Lowe from RTA Associates Ltd, Dan Skipworth-Michell from Green P Ltd and Lynn Witham from Parking Associates Limited.

Parkex Top Tips!
- Plan your day: With over 350 exhibitors at this year’s Parkex and Traffex combined, there will be plenty for you to see. Make sure you don’t miss anything by looking in advance at the exhibitor list and seminar programme and decide what you want to see and when.

With thousands of visitors, stands and seminars will be busy so why not skip the queues, register online and pre-book the meetings and seminars you are most interested in seeing? Visit our new website for information about how to register.

The entire industry will be attending and many companies will use Parkex as a launch pad for their latest new products and services. Explore our stands, and we are confident that you will take away many useful and new ideas.
- Network, Network, Network: The entire industry will be attending Parkex, so it will be a great opportunity to meet new people and make new contacts. Bring plenty of business cards and don’t be afraid to get some face to face time with colleagues, peers, and even competitors.
