Welcome to the 9th edition of the Natural Stone Show. Returning to London's premier exhibition venue, ExCeL, 15-17 March 2011, it promises to be an exciting time for the area with the £1.5 billion Royal Dock Development nearing completion and the Olympic Park for the London 2012 Games well under way.

Dedicated to bringing together everyone involved in the production, design, specification and purchasing chain, the show is the only UK event to exclusively focus on natural stone and directly related products and services. Entering its 16th year, it has built up an enviable reputation for delivering results to visitors and exhibitors alike.

Taking place in its proven biennial format the Natural Stone Show enjoys the support of the key UK industry organisations including the Royal Institute of British Architects, Stone Federation Great Britain and English Heritage. We are also excited to announce a new international promotional and educational agreement with Veronafiere's Marmomacc exhibition. Exhibitors and visitors at both events will benefit through expanded and far-reaching promotional efforts, increased show attendance and enhanced educational opportunities.

Exhibitions are unique in offering a platform that can deliver virtually all marketing goals at the same time. They provide a 'one-stop' opportunity to improve the profile of our business; network and meet new customers; find new agents and distributors; launch, present or demonstrate products and research; and exploit new markets.

So if this is your marketplace - this is your show! Join us at the UK stone industry event from 15-17 March 2011.
