Organisers of the new show, EI Live! Europe, which was due to be held for the first time next month, has announced that the show has now been moved to 14-15 June 2023.
According to organisers, All Things Media, the move is due to logistical challenges with many hopeful exhibitors unable to commit to the show until 2023 because of marketing and event budgets having already been set for this year, as well as the amount of trade shows that companies are already attending.
In a statement from All Things Media, the company says that it made the difficult decision to move it “to enable this first event to reach its full potential and provide the platform it needs to succeed and grow in the future”.
The statement also reads: “Announcing and putting on a new show of this type in the same year was always an ambitious target. However, the response to the initial announcement (almost half of the stands were sold soon after the concept was revealed) and the enthusiasm in general for a dedicated residential show in Europe across the industry, gave the show a positive start.”
The show is being held in partnership with Wim De Vos, owner of the free industry online education platform HT University Online, and Genesis Home Technology Architects who would take the lead in providing the rest of the learning and training experiences at the event. KNX Europe is also a main partner of the event and one of the training providers.
EI Live! Europe will now be held on 14-15 June 2023, with 13 June as KNX training and education day, at The Passenger Terminal in Amsterdam.
