“The event grew by close to 50% with a similar increase in visitor attendance,” he stated following the recent show.

An independent confidential exhibitor survey which was returned by 123 of the 147 exhibitors (itself a record) indicated that 92% of the exhibitors found the show to be ‘very worthwhile’ or ‘worthwhile’.

“These are among the best results we’ve ever achieved at a trade show,” reports Sean, “There can be no doubt that this industry is seeing a significant improvement on recent years.”
78% of the 2,801 trade visitors attending the event said that they placed or will place an order as a result of their visit with 30% saying they’d be spending between €10,000 and €1,000,000.
