Traffex 2019 is Europe's biggest highways and transport technology show of the year and this special Talking Transport podcast looks ahead to the event and tells you how to get the most out of it. Event Director Adrian Tatum explains all about the new features - the Future Mobility area, Trading Floor and Futures Day plus, of course, the things that make Traffex what it is, the theatres, exhibition and networking. We hear from long-term exhibitor Larry Walsh from WJ about what he gets out of taking part and some of the extra bonus publicity he's got thanks to being associated with Traffex. Marketing expert Helen Blood looks at how to get the most from your stand and how to attract as many people as possible onto it while Traffex PR consultant Becky Hadley explains how to increase your chances of getting your innovations picked up by the mainstream media. Traffex takes place on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th April at Birmingham's NEC - sign up at traffex.com.
We're doing time stamps now? How F.A.N.C.Y. 0:00 - We kick things off with hot takes about pomegranate juice and other awful concoctions that only fools and children would make, like blackcurrant and milk, and apple juice with orange juice. There's also a combination that only Kris's brother would make, and you'll find out about that in this section too. 2:50 Then it's off to the UK Games Expo at Birmingham's NEC for “the best convention I've been to” according to Peter, and the first part of our report from the show floor. First up it was By Fire and Sword, a teeny tiny historical wargame that looked like amazingly complicated fun. 14:20 - Then it's on to Wreck & Ruin, a post-apocalytpic vehicle combat board game that is a) pleasantly surprising, b) very accessible, and c) looking for your money on Kickstarter right now. 17:30 - There's a quick excursion by Kris to Lumino City, which pretty quickly gets wrapped up in a conversation about... 20:38 - … Pokémon Quest on Nintendo Switch, and the subject of mobile gaming in general. Does it matter which device you play a game on? Sam seems to think so, and he's probably right. 29:45 - This is where we head back to Brum for even more of the expo and “one of the darlings of the show” - the astonishingly plucky Burrows & Badgers from Oathsworn and Osprey Games. 38:30 - We're pretty disillusioned with comics at the moment, but there are a few stand outs that we've been carrying on with, and none is more important than Barrier from Brian K. Vaughan, Marcos Martin, and Muntsa Vicente. 45:41 - We round out the show with the last leg of our UK Games Expo tour and the acquisition of the pretty wild 1989 pen and paper classic Batman Role-Playing Game, from Mayfair Games. It sounds as good as you think it sounds. So pull up a chair and join Kris (@DigitalStrider), Peter (@XeroXeroXero), and Sam (@MrSamTurner) for the latest episode of our nice little hang out sessions where we talk about all the neat things we like.

Autosport International Show 2015 - NEC, Birmingham from the 8th to 11th January, 2015.
Rob Austin and Will Bratt believe wins are possible in their Rob Austin Racing-prepared Audis in 2013’s Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship. The Pershore outfit this morning announced that former international single-seater ace Bratt will contest a full BTCC season alongside team principal Austin in its pair of A4s. The news came amid a flurry of media activity on a special BTCC display at the Autosport show inside Birmingham's NEC. Bratt contested a part-season for RAR in 2012 and believes knowing his plans so early in the year can only mean strong results in the season ahead. The Oxford racer commented: “I can’t wait to get started, I really enjoyed the racing last year and the prospect of a full season is tremendous. The development of the car will allow us to compete at the sharp end.”
