FESPA 2007 breaks all previous FESPA records

Official statistics from FESPA 2007 held in Berlin, Germany, from June 5-9 prove the exhibition succeeded in breaking all previous records. Over 661 exhibitors showcased their products, and a record total of 24,232 individual visitors attended the five-day show, an increase of 20 percent on FESPA 2005 figures. A significant proportion of visitors returned to the halls on consecutive days, resulting in over 37,500 visits. An additional 9000 exhibitor attendees, who are not included in the audited visitor numbers, were present at FESPA 2007.  

Demonstrating FESPA’s growing reach as an international event, visitors came from over 125 countries. Just over 60 percent of visitors came from outside of Germany, and after the host nation, the top five countries in terms of visitor nationality were Italy, Poland, Netherlands, United Kingdom, and Spain. Reflecting the growth in Europe’s emerging markets, visitors from Eastern European countries represented 12 percent of the show’s overall attendance.
