SOE chief executive, Nick Jones says: "Despite the weak economic conditions, the 2011 CV Show attracted an impressive display of exhibitors and an enthusiastic set of visitors. I am delighted that our winning formula will be repeated next year and am confident that Crystal Communications will deliver an unmissable event in 2012."

And he adds: "This year's Show beat all our expectations setting the scene for a tremendous event in 2012 for both exhibitors and visitors alike… [The CV Show] has fast become a well-established fixture on the industry's calendar so I am pleased to confirm details for the 2012 event."
