Most of the major company names will be there. Here is a list of exibiters:

I hope to be there at least one of the days (tickets are free if you register your company online), and hope to buy some equipment from Babylon Media and others.

Any DVi members been to one of the previous shows (This is the 15th Videoforum show)?

I'm thinking of driving in as I'm not far from the M3. Will the show have a decent parking area close by?

I can't answer that one. We are on the south coast and will travel up by train,then underground. When it was held at Wembly there used to be loads of parking.

I'll have a look for your stands, Ed and Mike. Have you any idea of the best place to park? - London can be a bit of a nightmare sometimes.

Sorry to be unclear, I don't have a stand. I was just repeating Ed's.

The website (http://videoforum.co.uk/info_getting.php#road) gives road directions, so I guess there is parking. How much it will cost is a different matter.

If you log onto the website and fill in the details, they will send you an Email. Take a copy of this Email with you to the show and they will hand you your free ticket.

There is parking, open air and multistorey around the back, but it is expensive, around £32.00 a day if I remember correctly. I'll be going Wednesday I expect.

Your best bet is to go to one of the outlaying tube stations (parking is about £3 a day) and travel in from there. There are two underground stations serving Earls Court (Earls Court & West Brompton)

Public transport is the way to go.

Look forward to seeing you.

AND DON'T forget that "West Brompton" shares its lines with BR Main Line - Watford Junction to the North . . AND Clapham Junction to the South of London! !! ! PURFECKT! ! !

Plus West Brommie gets you to the rear of the Halls with at least a 1/3 of the walk! ! !

If you do park in the "suburbs" be well aware of the stringent commuter parking trap! Some clobber you from 7:30am to 11:30am! Yah just gotta larf!!!

Thanks for the info, Mick. Yes, I'll probably drive part way in to the edge of the congestion payment zone, and then take the tube.
