IFAT Africa

The IFAT Africa Trade Fair at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Johannesburg

The IFAT Africa trade fair focuses on discussions and exhibitions related to water, refuse, sewage, and recycling. Aspects regarding water purification and delivery, suitable solutions for water supply to the food and beverage sector, and laboratory technologies are addressed.

With more than 1 500 delegates who attend, the IFAT Africa trade fair provides several opportunities for exhibitors to introduce their products and services to important industry leaders. The exhibition runs alongside the conference related to the environment and waste management with a special focus on water.

This year, the IFAT Africa trade fair was held from the 9th to the 11th of July 2019. It is a biennial event and a must-visit for government officials, environmental consultants, engineers, farmers, food and beverage manufacturers, water supply and purification providers, and exhibitors with products and services relevant to the target audience.

Having a presence at the trade fair is important for exhibitors who want to gain access to the African market to introduce their products and services to decision-makers. Indeed, according to the organisers of the conference and trade fair, more than 80% of the visitors are decision-makers.

IFAT Africa offers an industry-focused platform for exhibitors, ensuring that all visitors to the fair are in the market for water supply-, sewage-, technology-, and recycling-related products and services. Innovativeness is also a feature of this prestigious and important event. The latest developments and trends are discussed, as well as showcased, making it an important event to attend. Top and trending environmental technologies are also discussed and displayed. Indeed, this is considered one of the most important trade fairs related to such technologies on the continent. The event is hosted in synergy with IFAT in Munich, thus also making it an internationally important event for exhibitors. The 2017 event had more than 150 exhibitors from 16 countries. It had over 1 700 visitors from more than 37 countries.

The event provides a discussion forum for service and solutions providers, decision-makers, and industry players. It is a significant event, especially considering the present-day water crisis in South Africa. Cape Town recently experienced the reality of coming close to no water. Water shortage is, however, a real threat throughout the country, despite good rains. The upgrading of water pipes, possible means of getting water that is more potable through desalination plants, and infrastructure development are among the important issues. As such, exhibitors, who have services and products relevant to the situation should not miss the opportunity to display their products at an event such as this.

We provide display stands and many products relevant to exhibitors who want to showcase their products and services at the event. In addition, we provide branding and printing solutions. Our service offerings include LED lightbox systems, counters, furniture, fabric display systems, roll-up banners, and display walls, to name only a few of our innovative options for exhibitors.

Why You Should Display at the SAPOA Annual Convention and Property Exhibition

The SAPOA Annual Convention and Property Exhibition is an annual event, hosted this year at the Cape Town International Convention Centre. It is the epitome of events for property professionals, stakeholders, and the property media.

The SAPOA event brings together CEOs of firms, banking sector experts, academics, analysts, suppliers, realtors, consultants, buyers, and investors. The convention is themed and the 2019 theme is focused on gaining a better understanding of issues affecting the property sector and planning for the future amidst political, economic, and social uncertainty. The SAPOA Annual Convention and Property Exhibition provides a platform for important discussions on how to address challenges amidst uncertainty and to develop the sector during such times.

It entails a three-day convention, hosted by Iman Rappetti, known for journalistic excellence. If you operate or have a stake in the property sector, it is worth visiting the convention. However, it is equally important to have an exhibition stand at the SAPOA event in order to build brand awareness. Below are reasons for booking an exhibition stand:

  • Increase the recognition of your brand, products, and services by being part of the event.
  • Meet stakeholders and engage with existing and potential clients or suppliers.
  • Strengthen brand awareness with one of our award-winning exhibition stand designs.
  • Position your company amongst the top players in the industry.
  • Enjoy face-to-face network opportunities.
  • Gain valuable feedback from visitors regarding your products and services.
  • Develop an extensive and value-adding leads database.
  • Introduce new concepts, products, and services.
  • Address issues with products and services in quality face-to-face conversations.
  • Be part of the solution creators.

Several sponsorship opportunities exist, giving your company even more opportunities for brand exposure.

How to Stand Out

With top players in the industry exhibiting at the event and actively participating in the convention, you will want to make sure that your brand is noticed and appreciated. To compete favourably with key exhibitors, you need to collaborate with an award-winning exhibition stand supplier. We meet the requirement and as trusted suppliers of exhibition stands, we provide you with design expertise, state-of-the-art prints, innovative technology, and an extensive range of products and services relevant to world-class exhibitions.

Our products range from banners to kiosks, counters, glass display cabinets, and brochure stands. We provide everything from electric wiring and lighting to flooring solutions. You can opt for one of our modular display stands, enabling you to add on or configure the display stand according to the available space at the SAPOA exhibition.

The modular option is recommended if you want a stand that can be used at several exhibitions. When disassembled, it takes up little space and you also don’t need technical expertise to set it up. This solution is recommended if you want your exhibition space to be exceptionally unique and specific to one particular exhibition. Regardless of your choice, you will find that our products and services are perfectly suited for such quality events in South Africa.

ISF World Seed Congress

by | Jun 11, 2019 | Events, Exhibition Services

Make Your Exhibition Count at the ISF World Seed Congress

The ISF World Seed Congress is an annual event that is being hosted in France this year. The 2020 ISF World Seed Congress will be hosted in Cape Town from the 6th to the 11th of June. The current congress registrations have closed. However, if you want your company to be well represented at the congress in 2020, you will benefit from booking a trading table or event space.

The ISF World Seed Congress brings together the decision-makers and main developers in the seed industries of the world. The event has a history dating back to 1924 and is thus one of the longest annual running events of its kind in the industry. Industry leaders and key stakeholders have attended, participated, and hosted the prestigious and exceptionally important event.

The International Seed Federation hosts several events globally and has been known for excellence in planning and executing such ground-breaking exhibitions, congresses, and trade shows.

The ISF World Seed Congress in Bologna in 1928 marked the start of an annual repeat of the event. It was also hosted in 1929 in Paris, and in Budapest in 1930. Slow activity in the seed sector was evident in the 1940s by the lack of ISF events during the WWII aftermath. Things set off again in 1950 with another event hosted in Paris, focusing on rules and application for seed trading. A motion was passed for considering plant variety protection at the 1956 event, with the first conference dedicated to plant protection to be hosted in 1957 in Paris.

With the 2020 ISF World Seed Congress to be hosted on local ground, it is the perfect opportunity for South African seed developers and suppliers to exhibit their unique products.

You will appreciate our range of display stands and products to make your company noticed and appreciated. Some of our products are briefly introduced below, indicating how we can help you to have an award-winning stand at the next ISF World Seed Congress.

Our modular stands are scalable to meet all your exhibition requirements, are easy to add onto, just as easy to set up and disassemble, and compact in design for easy storage.

We also offer fabric pop-up systems for use at conferences and other indoor events. Use the same system with different printed fabrics at various events. Our folding systems are perfect for the addition of walls and displays at seminars or conference hallways.

Book your stand at the next ISF World Seed Congress in Cape Town and let us help you set up the perfect stand.
