With less than two weeks to go, PG Live 2018 is putting the final preparations together for its 10th anniversary show. Taking place from Tuesday 5 – Wednesday 6 June at London’s Business Design Centre in Islington, this year’s PG Live is officially a complete sell-out and will be an inspiring celebration of original design and creative talent, say organisers Max Exhibitions.A packed schedule awaits visitors, with over 270 exhibitorscurrently preparing their collections.

3-PG LIVE LOGO“The last 10 years have seen PG Live evolve into an unmissable date in the greeting card calendar,” says show director Simon Boyd. “We’re so proud of what the show has become and are especially excited for this year’s show. With so much going on, this year’s PG Live really will score the ‘perfect ten’!”

With exhibitors ranging from leading brands to boutique publishers and brand new artists, thousands of original, creative cards will be on display. Over 100 high-profile card publishers will be showing exclusively at PG Live this year, while more than 150 Springboarders will be showcasing the best up-and-coming talent in the industry.

In addition, a host of attention-grabbing highlights, competitions and special offers will ensure that PG Live continues to delight. These include Greats vouchers (worth £50 against an order placed at the show) which have again been given to this year’s Greats winners and finalists.

As arguably the most sociable show in the industry, PG Live will also be making it easy for buyers to have fun and focus solely on cards. Free refreshments, a complimentary lunch (sponsored by greeting card retailer Scribbler) and a free drinks party after the show on Tuesday will ensure that visitors can concentrate on taking advantage of the ‘show only’ offers.
PG Live will also be bringing the international greeting card industry together under one roof ensuring that they will be able to spot the upcoming trends.
