Jade Grace, event director said, “There was
a good buzz about this year’s Labelexpo
India and our exhibitors reported excellent
visitor engagement with revisit numbers up
42 percent. This is not purely a numbers
game however and attracting the right sort
of visitor is crucial, so we are delighted to
report an increase in senior decision makers
attending the show. We’ve been really
satisfied with the anecdotal feedback from
our exhibitors with many of them securing
large orders and generating strong leads.
We look forward to returning in 2016.”
