RX Acquires Big Data LDN

FRANCES FERRANTE, SENIOR EDITOR

LONDON — Trade show giant RX is the new owner of the UK’s biggest free-attendance data and analytics exhibition, Big Data LDN, upon its acquisition of 3rd Street Group Ltd.

The popular show, to be held this autumn at Olympia London, brings together 130 leading technology vendors and consultants on the show floor, 180 speakers in eight technical and business conference theaters, and a free on-site data consultancy. It is known for its end-user-led program with evening attendee meetups.

Big Data LDN will join the RX portfolio in the UK, and founder Bill Hammond will continue as its event director. Hammond believes the big data and business analytics sector will only continue to grow. “A key issue within big data remains security and privacy and I look forward to working with RX UK’s existing Infosecurity brand to deliver even more value to our customers,” Hammond said. “It’s going to be an exciting growth period for us and we can’t wait to get started.”

Their professionalism, knowledge and dedication are astonishing, and I’m excited to work with them to grow this event in the coming years.”
