Feedback on event

This year’s show has exceeded expectations. Publishing Expo always produces sales and good quality visitors. We were so busy on the first day that no staff were able to leave the stand until after 1.00pm!

Les Csonge, Director, YUDU, 2012 Exhibitor and Partner

The best organised show for years. The first time I have been compelled to re-book early. What else is needed to be said.

Nial Coady, Managing Director, MyPressXPert, 2012 Exhibitor

My legs hurt, my voice is hoarse, and my contact book is full of amazing qualified leads generated over 2 days of Publishing Expo 2012. Thank you for putting on such a great show.

Andrew Petherick, Director, Videobuilder, 2012 Partner & Exhibitor
