Hi, we were all set the go to the expo at Earls Court Ibis Hotel last month but our son ended up in hospital so we couldn't go. However 2 sets of friends went (independant of each other) and they both said it wasn't really worth the time or money. There were apparantly shipping companies, migration agents, finance/banking, and a few companies looking for emloyees to sponsor but not much info. on education or real real estate which is what we needed. It cost £15 each to get in, parking was £14 and travel expenses would have been £40. So all in all an expensive day for not much gain unless you live close by. We were planning to go to one later in the year in Manchester but don't think we'll bother. The PIO guys are all living the experience and can give first hand advice, this is good enough for me.
Good luck,
Jen xx
