Treat yourself to… newness! See the largest line-up of greeting card companies anywhere in the world, with thousands of new designs across hundreds of new ranges being launched. The crux of PG Live is that it is the global greeting card show. This year there will be more than 200 greeting card publishers and allied businesses exhibiting at PG Live. A host of leading and well-loved brands will be on the Village Green and main mezzanine area while the Upper Village section (sponsored by The Imaging Centre) will be sparkling with emerging and ‘waiting to be discovered’ publishers, including the Springboard section, which continues to provide an inventive entry point option for a whole clutch of newbies. Treat yourself to… feeling connected and inspired • People do business with people. PG Live really is where the greeting card community comes alive. • Feel inspired, meet the people behind the brands, reinforce relationships, make new contacts, and enjoy the feeling that you really belong. • Something somebody says will spark a new idea, while face to face feedback can overcome obstacles and strengthen connections. • The friendly atmosphere at PG Live means that the chat flows freely on stands, in the aisles, in the Gallery Luncheon Room – and at the Opening Night Drinks Party! Treat yourself to… eating, drinking and being merry Ensuring visitors are ‘fed and watered’ in style is of paramount importance at PG Live. After all, no one can work effectively on an empty stomach and feeling thirsty! As ever, buyers and exhibitors will be incredibly well looked after. The popular PG Live tea trolleys will be out in force pouring out cuppas, in proper cups, throughout the day (thanks to Windles) while a free delicious hot lunch and salad accompaniments served to exhibitors and visitors alike (with UK Greetings sponsoring the lunchroom this year). And for all thirsty souls, there is also an opening night drinks party for all to christen the first day of wonderful trade.
