Electronics World Centenary Edition
April marks the launch of Electronics World Centenary Edition. First published as Wireless World back in April 1913, we can now claim that SJP Business media owns another 100 year old+ magazine. Electronics World is really most famous for its article from Arthur C Clarke first published in October 1945 entitled Extra Terrestrial Relays. This article was the first to suggest the use of geo-stationary satellites to assist in global communications, something that is ubiquitous today in every aspect of our lives, and has helped to shape the world we live in. There are not many magazines which can lay claim to being true technological pioneers!
Amazing energy and masses of hard work went into making this year’s IRX the huge success it was. This year’s show attracted 3,844 visitors, a 26% increase on last year, and feedback from both visitors and exhibitors has been fantastic. The IR Sales Team have had huge interest in rebookings as people are already marking IRX 2014 in their diaries. Congratulations to all involved!
With only two weeks until kick off, the Internet Retailing and eSeller teams are in full Expo mode. For two days, we will be taking over the NEC in Birmingham with almost a hundred speakers, thousands of visitors, six conferences, twelve workshops and the Innovation TV studio. New for this year are two exclusive sessions for retailers ‘13 Trends for 2013’ and ‘The Dark Side of Retail: A sealed door briefing with Tony Sales, Britain’s Greatest Fraudster’. Hear Editor-in-Chief Ian Jindal talk about what’s new at IRX here. As the new look Internet Retailing March issue of the magazine hit desks this week, energy is high!
