Army Recognition is appointed by MSPO organizers as "Official Foreign Online Daily News and Web TV" for MSPO 2016. MSPO comes third in Europe's military exhibitions rankings, just after Paris and London. Every year more and more exhibitors want to put on display their products and services at the Kielce expo; this year's edition brought together 586 companies from 30 countries; leading military producers used 27,000 square metres of exhibition space. The edition of 2015 has been exceptional, mainly due to the results it has achieved. It is worth mentioning the organizational and logistics solutions we have implemented this year. We have gradually expanded our infrastructure. We have learnt from Europe's largest defense exhibition organizers - Eurosatory in Paris or DSEI in London - says Katarzyna Prostak – the Targi Kielce's Deputy Director for Trade Fairs - meeting rooms designed for B2B sessions can be used of one of these new developments. Thus we have fulfilled the exhibitors' expectations; our guests have gained additional space for meetings with prospective partners. |
