On the 8th to the 10th of June, Fashionline Group proudly attended and exhibited at the Gold Coast Convention Centre for the 2016 Super Expo. The name really says it all, Super Expo was simply super.
We had the chance to network with industry insiders from all walks of the business, and showcase our members as well as meet many new faces!
Because Fashionline are a group of the most successful independent Manufacturers / Retailers of window furnishing products, we wanted to show our expertise and the benefits to customers at Super Expo, and we got to do just that, because official visitor numbers were up some 60% on the 2013 version of the event, which was really great to see!
Organisers certainly learned that this expo has become a huge event, especially given the large number and size of the custom build stands. The management at the GCCEC said they had never hosted an event of such size and quality exhibits, so full credit must go out to all attendees for the outstanding displays. We were certainly proud of our stand (see image).
