Dear ipw reader,
ZELLCHEMING-Expo 2014 closed its doors with a promising debut at the new location in Frankfurt: With 181 exhibitors (including 12 publishers) and 2,533 participants, the event emphasized its position as one of the most important European dialogue platforms of this industry. According to the newly implemented counting method referred to as FKM guide lines (Society for Voluntary Control of Fair and Exhibition Statistics) this total number contains 1,658 trade visitors, 739 employees of exhibiting companies as well as 21 representatives of the press and 397 conference participants. Most exhibiting companies underlined the "great, professional atmosphere" of the new hall 11 at the Frankfurt fair ground and declared that they would like to be part of the event again. Moreover, we might most probably see some "new old" exhibitors and partners come back from 30 June until 2 July 2015! See you there, again & wishing you a nice and relaxing summer holiday season! Sincerely, |
|
