The 2009 Exhibition closed its doors on a high note having recorded a great success. Both the exhibitors and the organisers of the event praised the great international and professional attendance at the 2009 event.
The 2009 exhibition facilitated an upsurge of long-term commercial interchange and brought more than 500 exhibitors from 60 countries together. The sixth edition saw around 43.000 professional attendees from 115 counties over the four days of the exhibition. According to some exhibitors’ statements, they felt the visiting presence had been affected by the global recession. However, the flip side of this was that those that attended did so with a purpose and most exhibitors, who were interviewed, agreed that there had been more important long-term business agreements achieved than ever.
