The leading industry event for business communication, live marketing and event services, the BEST OF EVENTS INTERNATIONAL, ended successfully after two days in Dortmund on Thursday: the 410 exhibitors from 9 countries consistently report good to excellent contacts and business opportunities. In addition, a heightened post-show business is expected. Over 9,800 visitors (previous year: 9,580) came to Dortmund to get the newest information about the shown range of products and services, trends and concepts for the event industry which was presented on 20,000 gross square metres.

“This year's BOE has gone extremely well”, said the very satisfied Ute Degen and Katja Nitschke, managing directors of the BEST OF EVENTS GmbH. “in 2012, the BOE was able to convince everybody that it is the most important trade fair for the event industry”. Exhibitors mainly commented on the high quality of the visitors at the BOE 2012. With a share of over 95% of professional trade fair visitors the BEST OF EVENTS is still the most important venue for event industry professionals. The results of the visitor surveys show that 89% of the visitors are heavily involved in making decisions about purchasing and procurement in their respective companies.

About 75% of visitors (previous year: 65%) were so satisfied with the BEST OF EVENTS 2012 that they already committed at the end of the fair to coming back to the exhibition next year.
The BEST OF INTERNATIONAL EVENTS 2013 will take place from 16th to 17th January 2013.
