An industry in motion

Organised on behalf of the British Parking Association, Parkex showcases the very latest in parking management, parking equipment, parking software and innovations in parking enforcement, access control and car park services from over 120 exhibitors.

Meeting the needs of the industry professional, Parkex creates an effective space where leading suppliers of parking technology products and services can meet their customers in an informal setting, geared to their requirements. As well as showcasing the latest technology, it also offers a knowledge forum and a unique networking opportunity as over 90 percent of UK local authorities will be represented as visitors to the show.

This year’s event is set to display a truly fantastic range of products and services including the latest energy saving products, high performance weatherproofing systems, map-based traffic orders software, mobile parking and civil enforcement solutions. Visitors can obtain expert advice, research and compare the very latest products and services from all the leading suppliers, including NSL Services, Bemrose Booth, Equita, Metric Parking Group, WPS, ZEAG, APT Ski-Data, Motorola, Parkeon, Park Mobile and many more.

Due to popular demand, this year’s Parkex features a second seminar theatre, giving visitors a wider choice of seminars than ever before. The free-to-attend Parkex seminar programme, organised by the BPA, is now well regarded as the forum for the parking industry, where leading experts will cover both on and off-street parking topics and focus on driving issues and raising standards for the industry. The full seminar programme is available on the website.

The Parkex ‘Career Point’ will offer expert advice on training and career opportunities from the industry’s leading recruitment specialists.

The Institute of Parking Professionals
will be available on stand C12, to give advice on maintaining the high standards of professional skill, ability and integrity among individuals working in the UK parking and parking related industry.

Visitors looking for a more creative take on parking will be able to see the shortlisted entries for the international ‘Think Outside the Parking Box’ competition, hosted by Design Boom in collaboration with Nissan. The competition involved over 3000 designers from 96 different countries to create a new vision for parking. The top 50 entries will be on display to inspire the parking industry to ‘think outside the box’ with their next project.

Exhibitor confidence is high and there is continued interest in the sell-out show. “Parkex 2010 in London has generated a huge amount of interest from exhibitors and visitors, with the event reaching a sell out two months before the doors open to visitors,” comments Bill Butler, Parkex 2010 Exhibition Director. “This really confirms to me the strength of feeling about Parkex within the industry, particularly in these challenging times. There will be lots for visitors to see, with all the familiar parking brands taking part, alongside plenty of new exhibitors who will be displaying the very latest technology, services and fresh ideas that will help visitors solve their parking problems’’
