01/10/2007
Aerosols 2007, an *FEA International Congress and Exhibition hosted by *BAMA in Manchester in September 2007 has been heralded an unrivalled success. With over 2,000 visitors 90 exhibitors and 350 delegates attending the Congress where fifty expert speakers shared experiences of the three inter-related pillars of sustainable development – environment, social and economic.
The results of the first ever *international aerosol awards were also announced at the prestigious gala dinner. BAMA and the Aerosols 2007 Steering Group have received many tributes. One of the key assets of the event was having the opportunity to network with all sectors of the aerosol industry under one roof.
Exhibitor; Jo Jackson, corporate marketing manager, ColepCCL:
“Aerosols 2007 provided us with an ideal opportunity to meet with the industry. The exhibition was well organised, and we had many visitors to our stand. The congress sessions were well planned and very relevant to the issues facing the industry. All in all, Manchester was an enjoyable success for us.”
Exhibitor, David Routley, managing director Oystar Aerofill:
“Our business enjoyed one of the best congress meetings ever staged in terms of organisation, venue, content and visitor profile. We had a very high quality of visitors closing £2m of new contracts during the show, advancing several other active projects.”
Exhibitor, Mark Waters, sales manager UK, Summit Europe CV:
“We were impressed with the organisation and think that the programme for the Gala Dinner was spot on, even the food was good enough to impress some of our more discerning European neighbours.”
Congress Speaker Bill Durodie, senior lecturer in risk & security, Cranfield University:
“Thank you for inviting me to speak at Aerosols 2007. Judging by the atmosphere I trust you assessed the event as having been a success. I received very positive feedback from those delegates who attended our Risk, Reputation and Trust session and hope you did too.”
Award winner, John Worthington, managing director Walk Easy:
“It is not often when one sees a David and Goliath act such as this.”
Tony Wardell, Chairman of the Aerosols 2007 Steering Group says:
“The feedback from Aerosols 2007 has exceeded all our expectations. One of the aims of this event was to promote innovation and change. The high calibre of the entries into the international awards tangibly illustrates that our sector is constantly striving for excellence and it was rewarding to be able to celebrate that genius and creativity. The feedback was good from delegates attending Congress sessions - it was refreshing for them to have the opportunity to discuss with the experts, topics very relevant to their own businesses. Just as importantly everyone I spoke to said they found the event a very positive atmosphere in which to do business.”
