Mark diaries with Markex dates

Markex World of Events takes place 24-26 August 2010 at Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg and this year the show "has been enhanced even further... to ensure that visitors experience not just the products and services they have come to source, but also educational and informational features that will add value to their business," comments Lynn Chamier, exhibition director.

Markex is intended to give delegates the opportunity to source everything from promotional gifts and clothing, to retail and signage, flags and banners, exhibition standards, packaging and printing, diaries and clothing, point-of-sale advertising material, all under one roof.

Features

  • A new 'Trade only' section in Hall 1, giving trade buyers the opportunity to view and source products and services in a less public area, offering more personalised, one-on-one interaction. The area will also feature an exclusive coffee shop
  • Loerie Awards Travelling Exhibition, an annual roadshow that visits agencies, festivals and institutions around the country and abroad, showcasing the illustrious winners of last year's Loeries
  • AdVantage Advertising Village featuring a dedicated interactive area where advertising agencies will visually display all aspects of advertising and branding to the marketplace with open exhibition stands
  • Speakers Inc Showcase will feature an interactive village area with a targeted selection of top speakers providing information on their areas of expertise, presentation topics and services
  • CMSA Forum for Chartered Marketers on 25 August.

"This year's show will have something to interest marketers in all discipline of marketing, and we believe that the addition of the 'Trade Only' section will enhance the interaction between exhibitors and visitors by giving them a more exclusive environment in which to meet and view products and services," concludes Chamier.

Access for senior students in marketing-related fields of study is restricted to Thursday 26 August and is by prior arrangement with the organisers, by downloading and submitting the application form from the Markex website. Pre-register on www.markex.co.za.
