IFES welcomed EXPOCENTRE to its office in Brussels to kick off the joint IFES Annual Meeting to be held from the 6 till 8 June, 2012 at EXPOCENTRE Fairgrounds in Moscow, Russia within the framework of the 6th International Forum of Exhibition Industry '5pEXPO-2012'. (website: http://www.5p-expo.com/en/).
"We are all very enthusiastic about the fact that IFES will hold the 2012 AGM in conjunction with the 5P Expo and the international congress and convention organised in partnership with Expocentre, our new member in the boyant Russian and Moscow exhibition market. We are looking forward to have a very well attended convention and exhibition from all over the globe!" Says Mr Meissner.
The three-day event offers IFES members and delegates joint conferences with Russian exhibition industry leaders, educational sessions focused on the BRIC market, and a large exhibition. The programme not only offers the chance to meet quality contacts but also the chance to learn about the Russian market and trends.
The joint event is to be held in Pavilion 7 on EXPOCENTRE Fairgrounds, which counts on four large exhibition halls, with one of these halls entirely dedicated to stands from IFES members and partners.
