Firstly we would like to thank all those who attended this years show. Moving an event from an established venue is never easy, but all our trepidations were unfounded with such fantastic support from you, the Industry.
We did hear of a few who turned up at the old haunt, luckily we had left a trail of breadcrumbs to the Holborn Studios.
This year we opened the show from 10am - 10pm. This was exhausting for the exhibitors (and organisers) to say the least, but it gave a chance for the public, friends and family to attend before the Private View. We were glad to see many so companies taking advantage of the quieter Public View to see the graduates.

By the end of the show over 600 individuals and companies had signed in, making New Blades 2010 our most successful show to date.
Those who signed in saw 101 graduates from 4 Universities.
There were trade displays from Mouldlife, Laserite, Patrick Thorn (Roland) and 3DD.
Special thanks to Richard Rogers (Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners) who inaugurated the show as well as sponsoring the bar, which despite stocking a third more beer and wine than last year, was drunk dry. Luckily, the Holborn Studios on site bar gingerly stepped into the breach.
