Graphics of the Americas Shines Bright
Exhibitors and Attendees Concur: “GOA 2008 Was the Place to Be”
“Graphics of the Americas was the perfect venue for us to showcase the renewed and expanded Xanté. This was an incredibly good show for the company and its dealers,” Xanté Vice President for Worldwide Sales, Scott Reese, says. “GOA is the place to be to reach the all important customers from the Americas, particularly Latin America. “The response was tremendous,” Reese says. “Given the momentum of GOA, we feel very positive leading into drupa.”
According to Hurst Chemical Company, its booth was well attended and continually busy. “GOA was an excellent launch for our new SmartPlate IO System, and the show sales provided a tremendous jump start for its introduction” stated Hector Marmolejo, Hurst’s Director of Technical Support.
Positive feedback from exhibitors was also reflected in brisk show exhibit sales for 2009. In fact, GOA reports sales of more than 50% of 2009 booths (representing 450 booths), even before the conclusion of this year’s event. Graphics of the Americas 2009 will be held February 26-28 in Miami Beach, Florida.
