“SouthPack attendees were exemplary of our clientele–a cross-mix of manufacturing companies/industries. By the end of the second day, all we could say was ‘Wow!’ Attendees consisted of senior level executives who understood the value of staying focused on their core competencies (i.e. manufacturing). We look forward to participating in future events.”Susan White, Vice President, Floor-Ready Services

“Not only did we receive high quality and very targeted leads, but we also had multiple staff attending to visit all the exhibits and finding out the latest technology available to continue to streamline our manufacturing, development, assembly and packaging processes. We came away from the show with not only with many new customers, but a handful of potential new vendors as well.”Darren Kahn, Director of Operations, RGI Medical Manufacturing

“We had the chance to meet and develop projects with local companies in the Carolinas. The show is not as small as we initially thought, but at the same time, it is not too big and spread out as other big shows are. This gives attendees the opportunity to visit and analyze every single booth and give them time to discuss, in more details, the technology shown.”Sauro Tugnoli, Product Manager, Bucci Industries USA

“GPI Prototype is a long time UBM Canon exhibitor, and this was our first Design & Manufacturing South show. We couldn’t be more pleased. The first day, we had almost 70 leads and three RFQs submitted. The leads that we received were not only qualified, but they were happy to visit with us. Thank you so much for helping GPI Prototype grow!”Tim Ruffner, Marketing Manager, GPI Prototype and Manufacturing Services

“We not only obtained very high quality leads, but we also received substantial RFQs within a day or two of the show. We expect this show will more than pay for itself. The two-day time frame worked exceptionally well.”Helene Herman, Director of Global Marketing, Lee Spring

“The show was very diverse in its markets. We received leads from a number of segments.”Harry Booth, Southeast Region Sales Manager, WIKA Instrument

“This show was great! Most everyone who stopped by our booth had current projects to discuss or were anticipating one soon. The VIP invitations worked well for us.”Annette Lund, Vice President, Diversified Plastics

“The leads we received were very qualified and worthy leads. It was nice to see many companies we have never dealt with before or heard of attending the show and look forward to working with these prospective leads.”Debbie Ray, Sales Manager, R&R Fixtures/R&R Sales and Engineering

“As always this show balances just the right amount of show hours and high quality attendees. The pre-show promotions seemed to drive high quantity and quality traffic through our booth.”Rob Manchester, General Manager, Pak-Tec

“The attendance at this year’s SouthPack show was much stronger that we anticipated. By the end of the first day, we had already gotten more leads than I expected from the whole show.”John Lewitt, Vice President Sales & Marketing, PLEXPACK

“SouthPack was a very busy show. The compact show hours helped with a steady stream of leads throughout the show. All leads seemed interested in our products and were not at the show simply to kill a week away from the office.”David Gargett, National Sales Manager, Decade Products

“South Pack was a very positive experience. The event was well run and well attended. We gained many useful leads from the show. We will certainly be returning next year.”Patrick Icasas, Marketing Specialist, Qualitest USA

The South event takes place in Orlando in odd years and will not return until 2015. Don’t miss your opportunity to engage the active Florida market. For more details, visit CanonSouthShows.com.
