Welcome to Markex and World of Events 2010

The definitive marketing, promotions and special events trade exhibition
Now taking place in August due to the 2010 Soccer World Cup.

Everything you’ll ever need for your marketer’s toolkit – under one roof.

MARKEX – SA’s Premier Marketing and Promotions Trade Exhibition For almost a quarter of a century, Markex has provided visitors with a comprehensive and dynamic showcase of leading suppliers to the marketing and promotions industry. It is the only show of its kind in sub-Saharan Africa.

WORLD of EVENTS – SA’s Showcase of Suppliers to the Special Events Industry Running parallel to Markex since 2003, World of Events showcases a variety of goods and services from suppliers to the special events and associated industries.

Thousands of marketers flock to this definitive exhibition every year to stock up on ideas, concepts, inspirations and contacts for the year ahead. Markex & World of Events continues to grow year on year and has consistently attracted record amounts of quality visitors and exhibitors. In 2009, 309 exhibitors showcased their goods and services to 10 861 visitors, 85% of whom either made or intend making a purchasing decision and 98% said they would visit again in 2010.

Building on the overwhelming success of the inaugural Advantage Advertising Village in 2009, Markex will once again feature a dedicated interactive area where advertising agencies will visually display all aspects of advertising and branding to the marketplace with open exhibition stands. With a dedicated presentation corner and meeting area with casual seating and a wine bar, the Advantage Advertising Village is THE place to network and gain valuable business contacts.

For the first time in 2010, Markex and World of Events will feature a new ‘Trade Only’ section in Hall 1. Visitors wishing to gain access to this area will be required to pre-register with a company registration number and will have to meet ‘trade only’ criteria for access, ensuring enhanced targeting of visitors for exclusively trade exhibitors.

In a concerted drive to ensure exhibitors of quality visitors, non-ticket holders to the show will be required to pay a R50 entrance fee. Furthermore, please note that no students and schools or children under the age of 18 will be allowed access due to the fact that this is a Trade Show.

Markex and World of Events is widely regarded as an important industry resource and a vital calendar date for buyers of corporate wear and corporate gifts, as well as marketing managers, event organisers, advertising agencies and brand managers.
