Aims for this year

Paul Arnett — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 18:12:00 +0000

People have been asking/rumouring if we've changed our aims and goals for this year, but to be honest they've always stayed the same for DJ Show North. To provide the best consumer focussed exhibition for the disco industry, and to be fair, if we do that it benefits everyone.

The dealers, that support and help us in promoting the show each year, are happy as it's their customers attending, seeing new kit and hopefully ordering from them, the manufacturers are happy as product awareness is increased and their dealers are happy as more people are wanting their kit !!

So we're not turning into a huge bring&buy/market, or only inviting dealers.

As always everyone is welcome to come and join us, be you a dj, band member, karaoke jock, dealer/retailer or just interested !!
