SHOW GUIDE ADVERTISING

If you're looking for a strong opportunity to gain exposure, Show Guide advertising is an exciting way to make a lasting impression. By advertising in the Show Guide, exhibitors and sponsors have the unique opportunity to reinforce their visibility to a well-defined, captive audience. The Show Guide will be distributed by electronic copy to over 20 000 buyers and will of course be distributed to every attendee at the registration desks.

After the event, many visitors keep the Show Guide as a source of reference to the products and services on display at the show. Every time they revisit the show guide, your ad space will take full effect reminding buyers of the products and services you have to offer. Your advertisement continues to work as a constant marketing tool long after the show is over.
