 PORT-ER EXPO One Life Live It! Exhibition

9 September 2011, Ashton Gate Stadium, Bristol, England, UK

PORT-ER’s 2011 exhibition brought together exhibitors, volunteers and visitors to showcase services, products, experiences and innovations that illustrated different lifestyle choices for people with physical disabilities. The event provided a fabulous networking forum for 150 people and the combination of local and national exhibitors provided a rich source of displays, information and advice.

This exhibition show was for people with mobility challenges and their carers and was a showcase for modern, innovative product designs and services. Our focus was on lifestyle - fashion, sports, gadgets, health & beauty, transport, holidays, leisure, legal & financial services, medical devices and employment. A comprehensive brochure from the event was produced and is available to download PORT-ER EXPO Bristol brochure. This is a useful resource for people wanting to find out about products and services after the event and the company links from the exhibition are also available on our website links page.

Our patron and the South West’s Celebrity Chef Michael Caines MBE, shared his life experiences with those present as part of a fabulous motivational talk (see the YouTube video at PORT-ER EXPO Michael Caines Talk). Michael also and took time to visit exhibition stands and view the available products and services.
