CHS Leeds has expanded its hosted buyer programme this year due to big increase in demand as the show continues to grow its visitors. The event takes place at The Royal Armouries, 25th April 2023. The organisers are already predicting a 32% rise in Hosted Buyers, with a proactive strategy focused on bringing new buyers to Leeds.

The programme has also looked to focus on corporate event managers and PA/EA’s from the North, 27% of the hosted visitors and VIP’s attending the event will be new to CHS Leeds. Also, Conference Leeds is keen to underline the connectivity of the city both arriving and while staying in the city.

“We’re really delighted by the early numbers that are joining us for our hosted buyer programme and our overall buyer pre-registration is really encouraging,” commented Lou Hindley, Commercial Director, CHS Leeds. “We always invest in the experience and it’s great to see so many within our events community excited to see our exhibitors. Equally, we know our long-standing buyers will give a warm CHS welcome to the many new organisers and companies that are also coming along to show. They will have a super productive time with us, and I know our exhibitor community will benefit enormously from forging new relationships and re connecting with others.”

Due to Hindley, the event underlines the importance of the partnership between CHS Leeds, Conference Leeds and host venue The Royal Armouries.
