THE PREVIOUS AIRPORT EXPO EVENT - A SUCCESSFUL BLEND OF EDUCATION, DEMONSTRATIONS AND NETWORKING
There was overwhelmingly positive industry response to Airport Expo 2008.
"Hands down, this was the best show we've ever done in the U.S." was the enthusiastic judgment of Mike Doane of Douglas Equipment, Ltd. "This show had a good mix" of U.S. and international visitors from the perspective of Ed Vasik of Eagle Tugs. AmeriTrak saw "THE right people" and Roger Nicholson of Access Air Systems expressed gratitude for a "GSE show focused on GSE - not watered down by extraneous visitors just collecting literature".
Airport Expo 2008 drew 1,600 attendees over the three days of the show (April 8-10) and exhibitors took note of their high level. The visitors' purchasing authority was evident in the level of business activity that resulted from airlines, airport management and authorities and FBOs.
Unique live demonstrations and technical seminars a huge hit
The hands-on live demo area was a great draw for visitors and gave exhibitors a chance to show their GSE equipment in its natural environment and the independent, free-of-charge technical seminars in the exhibit hall drew an interested crowd of high-level attendees each day.
Jeffrey Walsh of Global Ground Support commented: "the live demonstration area proved to be the right combination of static and live display to really push our exposure".
Preston Shultz of Skyko International was pleased to see “recognition given to the ‘little people’ “, noting that “the backbone of the industry is the small company”, while Roger Nicholson of Access Air Sysytems applauded IAGSA for identifying the industry's show needs and Mack Brooks Exhibitions for being able to so successfully respond and provide the show the industry has asked for.
Don’t miss Airport Expo 2010. Join the industry gathering, back again at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas!
