Welcome

THE OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY SHOW EXCELS ONCE AGAIN!

This year saw over thousands of OT professionals gathering at The Occupational Therapy Show on Wednesday 21st and Thursday 22nd November (NEC), making it the UK’s largest free to attend, education and trade event for the OT industry.

Visitors gave the free-to-attend, two-day accredited CPD education conference and exhibition a resounding thumbs up – as did the hundreds of exhibitors including the trade’s biggest brand names, AKW, Arjo, Etac R82, Handicare, Invacare, Otolift Stairlifts, Prism Medical, Sunrise amongst others, who showcased hundreds of the latest products and services on the exhibition floor. The aisle and theatres were packed with delegates on both days enjoying plenty of lectures available for all OTs, plus hands-on education at exhibitor stands.

More than 100% of the 2018 show’s exhibition space is already booked for 2019! If you want to be part of the most exciting show in the profession, which returns to the NEC on 27th and 28th November, 2019 – then click here!

WHAT THEY SAY

The whole concept of The Occupational Therapy Show is exactly how professional health conferences ought to be. I love how inclusive the event is – there is no registration fee. Other conferences are nauseating and hoity-toity. The essence of occupational therapy is in the hands of the clinician – they are the centre of our concerns and we can learn through them – that’s what I associate with The Occupational Therapy Show. That’s why I want to be a part of it and I come back every time I can. Two years ago the show was so much smaller than what it is today – when I see all the people it just tells me that it has grown so much in popularity – there are more vendors now too, it’s huge!

Professor Michael Iwama
We had a really good influx of visitors to the stand following our workshop which was fantastic. We’ve seen a varied range of people coming through, and all are really interested in the new add-on products. It’s important that our customers can see us with new innovations to offer that they may not have realised we do. You can go to exhibitions with the general public but you just don’t get anything back from it – for us this is now the best place to show new products to OTs.

It is fantastic to offer a day or two for OTs to come to an event like this. We must see at least 500 OTs on our stand each day – I mean you can see it now, lots of people looking around and lots of conversations. You get great feedback from the visitors too. They can talk about product design and about the challenges they have within their own environments which allows us to go off and innovate on what we do or to react based on their comments. It’s a great lead-generator opportunity for us. It makes a lot of sense!
