Long established as one of Continental Europe’s most popular modelling events, E-Day is an annual pilgrimage for kit builders across the globe.
Located for more than a decade in Prague, capital of the Czech Republic, this major gathering is now in its 17th year. For this latest exhibition, however, there was a completely fresh format as well as a brand-new venue. Traditionally a two-day show, this year’s E-Day was shortened to just one day, September 23.
While for the past few years E-Day has been staged in the underground car park of the Galerie Butovice shopping complex, on Prague’s western outskirts, for 2017 the location was completely changed. Instead of a parking lot, E-Day 2017 was held in the plush surroundings of Top Hotel Praha, in the south of the city. This hotel comprises a sprawling complex of buildings, with the main part of the show for exhibitors and an international line-up of traders being held in the hotel’s large congress centre (and several adjoining side rooms).
The ‘E’ part of the E-Day name signifies the famed Czech kit and aftermarket company Eduard, now celebrating its 25th year, and the large shopping area that Eduard presented for visitors filled a whole adjoining room.
