matthew.brough Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I think the big problem is that most of us drive to IFSEC. Getting to Excel is a trip around the M25, and I mean right around if you have to come from almost anywhere bar Kent. Then you have to try and get home! Getting across London from, say Hammersmith to the Excel is painful via Tube and DLR, and it takes over an hour. London is probably more expensive to stay over and I think from an overseas visitor perspective is going to bust the bank, if not the first year, the next year. For me, as an exhibitor, its going to cost us much more to be there from an accommodation and logistical overhead perspective. Personally, I think its a poor choice. I hated trying to get there 10 years ago when we exhibited before and I hated it even more just recently when I visited the area for a day out. I was Nucking Fackered when I got there. Maybe I'm just a grumpy old man. I hope I'm wrong... I agree for driving, Birmingham much more suited. All London accommodation seems way over normal rates, and if there are a few of you for 4/5 nights I can see how that won't be a welcome addition. A hour on the tube wouldn't bother me, I love the tube and the dlr. I associate IFSEC and Birmingham together, not sure if it will feel like IFSEC in the big city. Agreed it will be the year aft it moves there when we see how many people visit that will indicate if it was such a good idea. Wonder what will be at the NEC in its place.

matthew.brough Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Clarion Events will be putting an event on for installers at the NEC in May 2014 Who are they? Presumably an IFSEC clone? That'll be interesting. Will exhibitors go to one, both or neither? Quote www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 i detest london with a passion which is a pain as we there at least once a week. if i go it's because i want to see some very specific things so where it is has no impact on the decision to go or not.

Oxo Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I did. And said the same. Your all happy to take the extra money, not the work and travel. did I say Toss ers? And in case some are wondering Stone cold sober and sick of people saying London is a dive, which it is if you know it from 40 years ago. But still is better than most provincial cities. What I canot work out is how a few here slag it off, yet love the enhance income. Some accept the higher charges when working. Some smug toss ers are really getting on my tits about how they hate it and yet can afford 2nd homes from it. Fair play, But stop f u c k i n g moaning.

Not good for ~JP to see trade thinking others charge more just because they dont like the area is it. we have to travel for 5 hours to get there and spend £20 on parking to do a reset.

whistle Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 After spending the last few days working in Glasgow I was expecting a total nightmare. TBH what a surprise, went out in the city for a meal and a few beers and it was far from what I thought it would be. I would 100% rather work in Glasgow than London.
