Meet in Africa

摘要

With four events in eight years the founders of the Meet in Africa concept have every reason to be pleased. The African industry has watched the event move from what was an exploratory meeting and educational format to a full-blooded trade fair, and each time the reports get more positive. Not that this is such a huge event. With 270 exhibitors and just over 2,000 visitors this October's presentation did not need a huge space, fitting essentially into the underground car park of the UNECA (United Nations Economic Commission for Africa) building. Yet, like the early days of the Hong Kong show, leather trade diehards know that meetings in car parks can be very productive. This was the case in Addis Ababa.
