The Ifema Convention Centre will once again host the latest edition of Expo Reclam. This show, devoted exclusively to a professional audience, has become the most important event of the year for the advertising and promotional gift sector. The trade show will take place 14–16 February.
In terms of size, number of exhibitor companies and number of visitors registered prior to opening day, Expo Reclam 2012 (ER12) has become the most prominent trade show event of the year for professionals from the corporate gift and advertising and promotional gift industry.
Expo Reclam 2012, organised by Reed Exhibitions Iberia, will be opening its doors with a total of 206 exhibitor companies. Noteworthy among these are such important firms as Paul Stricker, Vallès Import, Enyes and New Wave, which will be located along the centre aisle of the show. The exhibitors will occupy a net area of 5,548 square metres, which makes ER12 the leading trade fair in this country.
“I want to give a very big thanks to the companies participating, to each and every one of them for all their efforts at such a difficult time. Expo Reclam will disappoint no one. It is and will continue to be the gathering where the supply and demand sides lay the foundations for future fruitful business relationships,” explains Susana Gibert, director of ER12.
Visitor numbers are also expected to be good, given that more than 8,100 professional visitors have registered in advance and have been authorised to attend the show. The 24th edition of Expo Reclam will be held in Exhibition Hall 4 at Ifema (access via the South Entrance).
New products in all areas
ER12 allows visitors to discover the latest in a wide variety of items which can be customised with a company logo or sales slogan. Major highlights include the large selection of products in ranges such as textiles, stationery products, electronics, food and anything related to household goods and leisure items. Another highlight will be an area for demonstrating different marking techniques and a priority area for industry associations Fyvar (Spanish acronym for the Association of Advertising Item Manufacturers and Vendors) and Aimfap (Spanish acronym for the Association of Promotional Item Importers, Wholesalers and Manufacturers).
Services provided at previous editions will again be available, including package shipping offered by Envialia at very advantageous prices; the Green Point Area, devoted to environmentally friendly products; and the Primer Paso (First Step) Area, for exhibitors taking part in Expo Reclam for the first time.
Announcing the Recordia Awards
One especially noteworthy new feature is the creation of the Recordia Awards, designed to promote international recognition of excellent ideas, gifts and promotional items in Europe. The awards have the backing of Expo Reclam, as the major professional event in Southern Europe, and Veredictas Internacional, a leading agency in certification of standards of excellence. 12 categories have been established and the awards will be presented at Expo Reclam 2013.
