Organiser happy with response to her first SOLEX

 

LOFA’s marketing manager Gina Hinde, who organised her first SOLEX exhibition, has said she has been extremely pleased with the response from exhibitors and visitors to the show.


Here Gina reveals what it has been like to organise her first SOLEX.

How did you find your first SOLEX show as organiser?
It was great, I had a great time meeting everyone and getting my bearings, but it was also a huge learning curve and I learned a lot. Now I have the first one under my belt it gives me more of an idea of how I can improve on future shows.
 
Were you happy with how the three-day exhibition went?
I was very happy, everyone was really kind and positive about the event and despite one or two hiccups it all went smoothly.

Did you get lots of positive feedback from exhibitors and visitors?
I did get some very positive and constructive feedback from both exhibitors and visitors which I will now act upon to make SOLEX 2020 bigger and better.

Were you happy with the quality and numbers of visitors attending the show?

I was very happy with the quality of visitors and the visitor numbers – they were slightly up on last year so that made me smile.

What are the dates of next year’s show?

Next year’s show is from 7-9th July.
  
When do you start planning for the 2020 exhibition?
I have already started!
