The show aims to attract all of those aspiring entertainers and models who enter the many televised talent contests, such as The X Factor, Britain's Got Talent and Britain's Next Top Model.

In terms of exhibitors, Fenton is looking to attract those companies that supply products and services for the talent industry, those that employ the talent, and those that want to engage with them.

He explained: "It will be the perfect place for the likes of model agencies, entertainment agencies, scouts and producers to see the latest talent."

The show will also provide visitors with the opportunity to learn more about the industry and how it works.

Fenton added: "There will be a number of workshops and seminars that will allow the visitors to learn everything from how to pay taxes as a self-employed entertainer and how to avoid being scammed, to new dance routines and how to showcase their talents."

Talent Expo will also provide a stage for both professional and up-and-coming acts to perform, while visitors will also be able to meet and greet celebrity artistes.

"In terms of competition Move It is the closest show, but it only looks at one aspect of the industry, dance. There is also Actor Expo, which is just half a day," explains Fenton.

Interestingly, the show is set to become one of the first to use visitor-tracking system Fish in its entirety, and will be carrying out all of its marketing in a printless version.
