Feedback from exhibitors
Reactions from MAA exhibitors were uniformly positive:
-
We had a very successful show, several appointments, lots of interest and meetings already set up for follow ups.
-
Great experience, we shall exhibit again.
-
We believe we will sign some good contracts that will more than cover our costs -- and our attendance at the show will have increased our visibility to the business world.
-
We met several previous clients, and now we can reinstate our relationship and provide our services to them again.
-
We will certainly gain from the show and look forward to new business as well as more from existing clients who exhibited at the show.
-
Of all the UK regions, the MAA's sheer presence was clearly the best.
-
Many thanks to all the MAA team, for organising the MAA presence and looking after us in Paris - it was a successful event for us.
-
The show was highly successful in that we had over 30 meetings with existing and potential new customers; from those meetings we have already received two new RFQs.
