The Truck Show is an opportunity for your company to meet with decision makers from the Western U.S. and beyond. For many truck show visitors this may be their only opportunity to meet face to face with exhibitors.

Roger Sherrard, President of Independent Trade Show Management resumed the show’s intent in an elegant way:

“Our goal is simple. Bring together buyers and sellers of heavy and medium duty truck equipment and services in a forum that makes it easy to conduct business. Achieving this goal is our speciality.

In 2005 over 16,000 registered attendees visited with 342 companies during the three days of The Truck Show Las Vegas.

Almost 90% of our attendees were qualified industry personnel and over 67% of them told us they were decision makers or company management.”

It’s also a great way to spend some quality time in Las Vegas, Nevada, June 15, 16 and 17, 2006. The event will take place at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

The World of Asphalt 2006 Show and Conference was a great success!

If asphalt is your trade, you should already prepare for the next World of Asphalt that will be held March 19-22, 2007 in Atlanta, GA.

Their web site should be updated soon with the relevant information about the upcoming 2007 Edition.

Looking at the 2006 Edition:

More than 4,145 asphalt, highway and maintenance industry professionals attended World of Asphalt 2006, a 26-percent increase compared to the last show, held in 2004, and more than two-and-one-half times the attendance at the inaugural 2001 event. Attendees came from companies large to small and from businesses in the United States and worldwide.

The international scope of World of Asphalt continued to grow, with visitors coming from more than 50 countries outside the United States, accounting for almost 19 percent of total show attendance compared to about 10 percent for the last show.

The show attracted a highly qualified audience, with a majority of attendees in management roles – with titles including president, owner, vice president, general manager, chief financial officer and purchasing, sales or marketing manager.

Preparations are well advanced for the International Aerospace Exhibition ILA 2006.

From the 16th to the 21st of May 2006, over 1,000 exhibitors from more than 40 countries will be coming to the southern section of Berlin-Schönefeld Airport to display their latest aircraft and a wide range of products, systems and processes representing every area of this high tech industry.

The exhibition site has been extended for the ILA 2006 to cover 250,000 square metres and almost all of this space has already been reserved. This area includes the 100,000 square metres of outdoor display sites, the ten exhibition halls covering a total of 50,000 square metres, and all the chalets, which provide an exclusive setting in which to meet with customers.

Over 300 aircraft from the historical to jets incorporating the latest advances in aviation technology will be on show on the ground and in the air.

For the professionals there will also be more than 80 conferences, meetings and workshops offering additional opportunities for obtaining information.

During the first three days (16-18 May) admission to the ILA will be restricted to trade visitors only. The highlight of the open days (19-21 May) will be the spectacular air show.

Federal Chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel will officially open the ILA 2006 during her tour of the grounds on the 16th of May.

Hans-Joachim Gante, the Chief Executive of the BDLI, stated: “The ILA 2006 promises to be extremely successful. The number of exhibitors, together with the size and quality of their stands, are an indication that the ILA has developed into one of the world’s leading aerospace trade fairs. Virtually every company of any standing in this sector is represented at the ILA in order to present its products and services to Germany and the world.”

Europe’s “shopping mall” for business and private aircraft.

The General Aviation Avenue at the ILA 2006 alone is one of the largest trade fairs anywhere in the world for business, private and sports aircraft.

In the space of just a few years the General Aviation Avenue at the ILA has become Europe’s “Shopping Mall” for business and private aircraft as well as a commercial meeting place for aircraft owners and pilots.

Among the more important suppliers to be found at the ILA 2006 will be Aquila, Beechcraft (Raytheon Aircraft), Bombardier, Cessna, Cirrus, Diamond Aircraft, Embraer, Extra, Pilatus, Piper and Socata.

They will be joined at the ILA by numerous general aviation suppliers including the publicly quoted engine maker Thielert and the airscrew manufacturer MT-Propeller, whose products are already internationally known.
