“Our balance is highly positive, because we not only complied but we have also exceded our expectations, both in the technical and organizational area, and in the satisfaction of the exhibitors that participated at the show. For us, this edition has definitely been a success,” assured Burak at the end of the second day of the event, which, although had a little less public than the first day, left exhibitors very satisfied with the results obtained.
“The Central American and Caribbean is the right region to have an international event like SAGSE, here in Panama. For the first comments received, we know important business and sales have been performed during the event, and in general, all the participants at this exhibition have expressed us their satisfaction, so we are very happy with this new edition,” remarked Burak.
With regard to the relaunching of the brand, SAGSE Show Manager pointed: “Now the event is called SAGSE Central America and Caribbean, because it is the new brand we want to impose in the region, and somehow we have done it, as it was reflected in the number of visitors and operators present at the show, because we have gathered not only Panamanian operators, but from Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Venezuela, many Mexican visitors and from the islands: Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Curazao, Saint Marteen, among others”.
When talking about the new space occupied by the show, which left behind the Atlapa Convention Center to occupy Hotel El Panamá Convention Center, Burak commented: “The change of venue responds to our idea of evolving, to offer a better hospitality service and the comfort of visitors and exhibitors, and we believe that the result has really been very positive in this aspect. That’s why we have confirmed the dates for 2014, for May 7-8, here at hotel El Panamá, and next year we expect not only to repeat the success of this year, but even to improve it and grow with a top international event as it has been.”
