Visitor's Reviews
We really enjoyed the exhibition. This is 2nd time for me.There were new products and ideas. Appreciate it.
It was a very informative experience to interact with people from various countries With their products
THE EXHIBITION WAS SO LIMITED MISSING THE DIVERSITY OF NATIONALITY AND BRANDS THAT WE USED TO FIND BEFORE SPECIALLY TILL 2008EVEN MY CUSTOMERS WERE SO DISAPPOINTED HAVING TO TRAVEL TO ATTEND IT
Was not organised on the preparation day, otherwise, the event was great and many visitors.
