Russian Trade Show Success

More than 7,200 people attended Integrated Systems Events' first trade show held in Russia. The Moscow show ended Nov. 10.

"We will look back on this inaugural show as a landmark event in the development of our industry," says Mike Blackman, managing director, Integrated Systems Events. Exhibitor Michael Nevzorov, a regional manager at Mitsubishi Electric, received positive feedback from the show floor, with interest from education, presentation, and digital signage markets.

According to Koen Pepermans, managing director, Vantage EMEA, "We already have some very successful partners here in Moscow, but what really pleased us is the attendance from elsewhere in Russia and from other CIS [Commonwealth of Independent States] countries," such as Ukraine, Armenia, and Kazakhstan. Next year's show will be from Oct. 30 to Nov. 1.
