Q. NürnbergMesse India is the leading exhibition organiser in India. What kind of impact do your shows generate for their respective industries?
A. We have achieved the distinction of organising exhibitions on very niche topics. We believe in the near future, exhibitors would want a platform which is perfectly tailored to their specific needs and requirements instead of being generic. We collaborate with all respective leading trade associations to understand the nuances and challenges every industry faces. This enables us to understand, in depth, the current needs and future expectations from our exhibitions. We are therefore able to create effective forums, which not only offers our customers a chance to showcase their products and innovations, but also puts them in contact with influencers and decision makers.
Q. How do you ensure that your exhibitors and visitors are satisfied with the outcome of your exhibitions?
A. It’s important that the team works in tandem to deliver a show which fares well on all accounts: square footage, aesthetic appeal, quality visitors, well organised and well supplemented with complementary events. To achieve this it is imperative that we are constantly in touch with the exhibitors to understand their needs. On the part of the management it is important to keep the team motivated, united and charged for them to be able to achieve all this. Furthermore we are constantly looking at new methods and ideas to make the participation process as seamless and as comfortable for our exhibitors and visitors as possible.
