Comparatively, Expo’s rate is very competitive and the event offers its exhibitors more benefits than any other trade or décor show in terms of reputation, infrastructure and a supportive environment. The majority of Expo exhibitors not only recoup their costs through sales, they also make a profit at the event.
CO-EXHIBITORFEE We do not encourage exhibitors to share stands as this results in a cluttered display and does not promote the individual brands effectively. There is thus a co-exhibitor fee of R900. In other words, if you share a stand with another exhibitor we will charge you an additional R900 for the extra accreditation, registration and administration costs.
