With thousands through the show doors it’s a great place to be seen and promote what your company can offer.” He highlights the statistics as a reason beyond all to get involved. “Of the estimated 5,000 attendees of the show, some 78.1% will make contact with an exhibitor after the show. Couple that with nearly three-quarters of those attendees being responsible for buying decisions and there is really nothing more that needs to be said… this show is about doing business no matter what side of equation you’re on.” EMEX 2018 IS TO BE HELD AT THE ASB SHOWGROUNDS IN AUCKLAND FROM MAY 1-3, 2018.
