THE BUG CLUB BRINGS THREE VW “DJ VAN BUGS” TO EPS & INTERNATIONAL CONFEX — A LIVE SHOWCASE OF OFF-GRID, HIGH-IMPACT EVENT ENERGY
The BUG CLUB, the UK’s mobile DJ-van and event-activation team, will exhibit at The Event Production Show (EPS) and International Confex at ExCeL London on 25–26 February 2026, deploying three VW DJ Van BUG units across the co-located shows.
Running from the EPS entrance through to the networking bars across both EPS and Confex, the three BUGs will act as roaming hubs for connection, atmosphere, and content—while demonstrating sustainable, off-grid event delivery in a live exhibition environment.
