As managing director of Scan Display and a regular EuroShop visitor and exhibitor, Hawes will talk about his experiences at the show, and he can answer any questions attendees might have about it, either as a visitor or exhibitor. He says: “I founded Scan Display, an exhibition, events and display specialist, in 1996 and attended my first EuroShop in 1999. I have not missed a show since.

“To me it is beneficial for three reasons. Firstly, it is a great place to see new solutions and the latest technology for the industry. Secondly, it’s an ideal platform for meeting new suppliers. And finally, it’s also a good place to find new customers.”

At the last few EuroShop shows, Scan Display has exhibited as part of the International Federation of Exhibition & Event Suppliers (IFES) pavilion. Scan Display was the first African member of the Brussels-based global expo and event contractor association, and through his involvement in IFES, Hawes has gained a great deal of experience attending and exhibiting at international trade shows.
