As regards the latter, last year we operated on the rates and reduced them drastically, and since we have to taken up direct management of the 2 publications with the sole aim of providing good services, we have decided to maintain the 2009 rates this year too.
We also wish to remind you that the Eicma catalogue and the guide are excellent advertising tools as they are given to all the visitors: Italian and international press people, Italian and international trade operators, and the public at large. Some of the figures relating to 2009 are shown below:
Gross surface area 260,000 sq.m
Net exhibition area 55,000 sq.m
Supporting Events - MOTOLIVE (outdoor) 85,000 sq.m
Brands displayed 1,341
Countries present 31
Trade operators 50,041
(19,048 from abroad)
Accredited journalists 1,631
Overall number of visitors 450,000
We wish to inform you that, for the this edition of the Show, EICMA will manage on its own the Show Guide and Official Catalogue. Therefore, it will directly take care of including the company information and collecting advertisements.
