2019 EXHIBITION
“I have been coming to the PALM expo for the last 15 years. I still remember PALM in the same hall for many years which was very small. Things have changed, things have improved. And I think we this year have one of the biggest booths here. If I’m not wrong around 204 sqm as compared to any of the earlier years. We are expanding and doing lot of things and this gives me opportunity to meet all my old friends and renew my relationships at the show so I continue to exhibit and showcase the products that we have to offer every year at the PALM show. I wish all the best to the PALM team for the next year.”
“My experience till now is very good and we have a lot of customers coming in. The crowd pull is very good at this show and its very disciplined this year. It’s a good platform.”
“Vardhaman as a group has been associated with PALM from the last 15-16 years. We are extremely pleased with the participation for us to grow the brand and connect with our customers, whoever have been associated with us both existing and new. PALM expo has always been good for us for the past 15 years that we have been participating and particularly this year has been very good. Footfalls have increased. We have been able to meet up with whole new range of customers from all verticals so that’s been a good plus point for us. The quality of the show has improved as well. Coordination from the PALM team has been fabulous. I should give full credit to the PALM team as well.”
“PALM has always been a very refreshing and immersive experience for us. There are always new things to learn, new things to showcase and the excitement has never gone less. This year yet again PALM has not failed to surprise us with the kind of audiences that are coming in. The kind of questions that we are getting from the audiences is great. The industry is ever growing and PALM plays a very, very important role in getting people to one place. I couldn’t be more happy to exhibit in an amazing opportunity like PALM. Way to go PALM! Great Job!”
“Our journey at PALM expo has been fantastic. It’s our tenth year here at PALM expo and it’s a momentous year for us. Also, we are conducting the 10th Live Arena as well. It all started from a lower scale and it has been growing steadily over the past decade. We are very happy to be a part of PALM expo. We see great potential here. We get a lot of inquiries and the audience is very genuine.”
“This is our third year at PALM and it’s a bit different this time. This year we have seen a little filtered crowd. Its more peaceful and meetings are more productive and the impact this year is going to be higher because people are getting time space and less noise to speak and take things ahead in their discussions. The biggest highlight about PALM expo 2019 has been the fact that there is much more discipline when it comes to crowd management, there is filtration of crowd. Also, Hall no. 3 has been really interesting for visitors.”
“Every year, the quality of crowd keeps getting better and we get more concrete inquiries leading to better business. One of the best part of 2019 is that the noise levels are much lower than other years and the crowd is a lot more filtered so it’s easier to identify the correct customers”
