FIT Show confirms 2023 dates

FIT Show organisers have confirmed the dates for its next event, which will see the fenestration industry’s flagship UK trade show return to the NEC Birmingham from 23 – 25 May, 2023.

The announcement comes ahead of FIT Show’s delayed 2021 exhibition, which was rescheduled to 10 – 12 May 2022 due to the effects of the global pandemic.

FIT Show will continue to follow a biennial frequency, placing the show in Fensterbau Frontale’s ‘off year’. The May 2023 edition will be followed by FIT Show 2025 and return every other year thereafter.

2023 will mark the 10-year anniversary since its launch, and its seventh outing. Organisers say that they are already receiving a strong amount of support for its return next year.

FIT Show event director, Nickie West, commented: “We’re pleased to announce the dates for FIT Show 2023, which will follow hot on the heels of what we are anticipating will be a very successful delayed 2021 outing this May.

“Like many events, our calendar has been severely disrupted by the pandemic, but we are excited to press ahead with our 2023 dates – which will be extra special given that it will be a full decade since we launched the show.

“It goes without saying that we are in the midst of unprecedented and uncertain times. The lingering impact of the pandemic has been further compounded by a skills shortage, supply chain issues and the war in Ukraine.

“However, the fenestration industry continues to pull together and demonstrate an unwavering resilience – this is one thing that sets this sector apart from many others. The support for our delayed 2021 event has been fantastic and I am pleased to report that we have already received strong levels of interest from brand leaders for FIT Show 2023.

“It’s time to start looking ahead to more certain times. We are looking positively towards FIT Show 2023 and beyond. I’d like to extend my gratitude to each and every one of our stakeholders – FIT Show wouldn’t be the success it is without them.”
