GRAPH EXPO 2010 Hailed a Success by Attendees, Exhibitors
The show attracted a total of 19,961 attendees, which included exhibitors and attendees, and 12,552 actual verified attendees/buyers from 69 countries to the expansive McCormick Place in Chicago, Oct. 3-6. They came to examine, compare and purchase the latest graphic communications technologies.
Based on its commitment to reporting the truest and most accurate attendance numbers, show producer the Graphic Arts Show Co. (GASC) defines “actual verified attendees” as registered on-site show goers—counted only once—regardless of their number of days at the show, or times they enter the exhibit hall. Show data reports reveal that while fewer attendees from each company were there, the show drew higher-level decision-makers from among the 7,171 unique buyer companies who came with budgets to spend on the equipment, products, software and applications demonstrated by the 506 exhibiting companies that occupied 291,134 sq. ft. of space across the South Hall of McCormick Place.
