Leading event for the “early years” sector, Childcare & Education Expo London, will move to Excel London from 2027.

The show has run at Olympia for a decade. It attracts over 4000 attendees and 150 exhibitors.

Why move from Olympia to Excel?

Reportedly, one of the key reasons for the move was connectivity. Excel’s transport links, including the Elizabeth Line, makes the venue a more attractive destination for Broadway Events – the organiser.

Partner relationship director Sue Lee said that the move “will create even more opportunities for our fast-moving sector”, and that it is a “major milestone for Childcare & Education Expo”.

Organisers of the event are keen to “expand”, and believe that Excel will provide more opportunities in this area.

When is the 2027 show?

The 2027 edition of the Childcare & Education Expo London will take place on 5-6 March.

Caroline Gourlay, head of B2B exhibitions at Excel, said: “We are delighted to be hosting Childcare & Education Expo next year … Excel offers an exceptional experience for exhibitors and visitors alike, complemented by seamless connectivity via the Elizabeth line.”
