Visual Impact organisers say visitors who pre-register online for next month’s wide format trade show will enter a draw to win an overseas trip.
Some 60 exhibitors will show off their latest kit at Visual Impact, which has a track record of more than 25 years in delivering ideas, solutions and technology for sign, display, wide format print and exhibition businesses. Peter Harper, general manager – trade shows for Visual Connections, the new suppliers’ association for the print, graphics and signage industries in Australia which will host Visual Impact and Exhibition Expo – says visitors can expect to get real value from the Melbourne events, which are specifically designed to help businesses improve profitability, expand their offerings and create entirely new revenue streams.
He says, “To continue to prosper and grow your business in an increasingly competitive market, industry professionals need to stay ahead of the game – and that is where events like Visual Impact and Exhibition Expo can play such an important role. We are delighted with the calibre of names on our exhibitor list for the September show, and believe it will be a very important event for anyone who is seeking the best information, ideas and innovative technologies to help them capitalise on opportunities and build a successful future.”
The events, held in Hall 1 at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre from Thursday, September 17 to 19, has 64 exhibitors locked in so far. Harper says on some of the larger Visual Impact stands, visitors will benefit from comprehensive showcases of the latest technology, systems and materials from leading names like Australian Visual Solutions, Canon, Graphic Art Mart, Jetmark, Mimaki, Multicam Systems, Neopost, Roland DG and Trotec.
Other suppliers include ADI Displays, Alfex, Australian Laminating Company, beMatrix, Celmac, DES, Display Systems Australia, Epson, Impression Technology, Tommotek and Willenco.
Harper says, “During the event, there will be plenty of activity on the exhibition floor, with visitors able to attend free windows, walls and floors workshops to find out how to perfectly apply some of the extensive range of window, wall and floor films available from Avery Dennison, Arlon and Aslan, and also free vehicle wrapping workshops run by Avery Dennison and Graphic Art Mart. Pre-bookings must be made for these perennially popular events – email to reserve your place.”
The Melbourne show will co-locate with the inaugural Exhibitions Expo, the new expo for trade show products and events. Organisers’ say this will expand the range of solutions on show to include the latest offerings from names like ADI Displays, beMatrix, Display Systems Australia, Exponet, LED Works, Showgizmo, Showtime Events, SAS Signage Accessories and Visionary Digital.
Harper says, “Complementing this exhibition component will be a comprehensive seminar program, which will this year feature world leading experts addressing topics from building engagement, developing your team and managing change, to building successful social media campaigns, sponsorship management programs and exhibitions.
Visual Impact and Exhibition Expo will run from 10am to 5pm on Thursday, September 17 and Friday, September 18; and from 10am until 4pm on Saturday, September 19 at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre. Harper adds, “Visitors are encouraged to pre-register online for the shows, a move which will not only save time but ensure entry into prize draws to win trips to Florida or Fiji.”
