SALTEX 2022
Birmingham NEC 2-3 November

 

SALTEX 2022 continues to attract the best in the business - with visitor registrations from over 30 countries already confirmed, a roll call of domestic and international exhibitors signed-up, and an impressive lineup of expert speakers and industry specialists standing ready to provide support, insight, and real solutions to key industry issues. 

 

SALTEX is Europe’s leading FREE sports turf, amenities and landscaping exhibition

 

FREE to attend, the show includes the ever-popular Learning LIVE programme, a key element in the SALTEX offering, which has this year been extended to over 30 FREE sessions with influential speakers addressing a range of key issues impacting the industry. High on the agenda are sustainability and environmental issues.

 

The FREE Learning LIVE sessions will put water usage under the spotlight

 

Among those bringing their insights and advice to the stage will be Tony Hanson from Environmental Solutions International, Robin Price from Anglian Water and Bob Hillier from the Environment Agency discussing, in a presentation not to be missed their paper on ‘Reducing the impact of future water restrictions on golf and sports turf’ – an extremely timely subject as the sector deals with the results of climate change and the impact that extreme weather is having on sports grounds and green spaces. 

 

Other seminar highlights include Sports and Play Construction Association (SAPCA) discussing the options, implications, and cost of recycling synthetic turf in the UK. Speaking on the subject will be Colin Corline from SAPCA, David James from Labosport LTD and Alastair Cox from the European Synthetic Turf Council.

 

SALTEX attracts the most exhibitors in the industry to one place at any one time. And new exhibitors keep coming on board weekly, with 2022 already set to be the biggest and best show yet.

 

Over 400 brands will be on display at SALTEX


Overseas visitors’ enthusiasm for the event is at an all-time high with over 30 countries already registered bringing with them insights into how they do things in their countries. 


One of those is Daryl Davidson, head groundsman at Sydney University and of the International Greenkeepers Association, travelling from the other side of the world for “this great opportunity to catch up with a heap of new and old friends from our great industry,” it was he says, “an easy decision to jump on board”.


SALTEX is an event grounds people have always made the time to attend. We know from visitor and exhibitor feedback surveys that the networking opportunities are a massive draw and never more so than in the post-pandemic landscape. 2021 survey data showed that almost half (46%) of visitors attend for networking opportunities; over two-thirds (68%) attend to source new products, services, and suppliers; topped by an extremely high satisfaction rating of 83% voting the show as Good, Very Good or Excellent.

 

SALTEX does not disappoint and registering for a free FREE ticket to Europe’s largest sports turf, amenities and landscaping trade exhibition has never been easier thanks to the event’s new website - saltex.org.uk.
