In January 2011 the Tullett Prebon London International Boat Show will be joined by The Outdoors Show for four days, Thursday 13 to Sunday 16 January 2011, providing visitors with the ultimate varied and diverse day out. The collaboration is also set to create an extremely valuable market for exhibitors, sponsors and commercial partners.

The Outdoors Show, run by VOS Media, has been held at the NEC Birmingham since 2002, and is Europe’s largest outdoor pursuits consumer exhibition. Annually inspiring thousands of visitors to actively take up and get involved in outdoor pursuits, the 2009 show saw over 31,000 visitors and enthusiasts through its doors. Many of these visitors currently go boating and there is a clear opportunity for many more to take it up.

The Tullett Prebon London International Boat Show is The UK’s premier indoor boating event presenting a broad showcase of products and services for boating and watersports enthusiasts. Andrew Williams, Managing Director of National Boat Shows, said: “We are delighted to welcome The Outdoors Show alongside the 2011 Tullett Prebon London International Boat Show. This joint venture forms a significant part of our development for the London show, but it doesn’t end there with a whole host of other enhancements planned. The 2011 show will be an immersive, engaging, educational day out for our visitors, with the added benefit of visiting The Outdoors Show over the last four days. For our exhibitors there will be the added benefit of thousands of additional visitors interested in outdoor pursuits and may be interested in learning more about boating.” VOS Media Managing Director, Damian Norman commented: “Following nine extremely successful years, we are very excited about moving The Outdoors Show to London and our strategic partnership with National Boat Shows, creating what will be a unique experience for London and the UK.”
