A-OSH EXPO 2024
The stage is set for A-OSH EXPO 2024 , with A-OSH EXPO 2023 boasting a record number of 4 005 industry professional attendees and a record combined 11 465 visitors to the four co-located shows – Securex South Africa , Facilities Management Expo and Firexpo . Being held at Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand , from 28 to 30 May 2024 , A-OSH EXPO will benefit from an additional exhibition hall to cater to the demand for more floor space .
“ A-OSH EXPO continues to make headway as Africa ’ s largest and most comprehensive occupational safety and health expo . The feedback we receive from exhibitors and visitors is that it is the ultimate interactive platform , where important and enduring connections are made , positive networking is enabled , and product and service solutions are found ,” says Mark Anderson , portfolio director at Specialised Exhibitions — a division of Montgomery Group .
Feedback from exhibitors “ It is important for us to establish our name in the market . We want people to have the name ‘ Pinnacle Welding & Safety ’ foremost in their minds when they think of PPE . A-OSH EXPO and the three co-located expos allow us to do this .” Kenny Bing — Pinnacle Welding and Safety .
“ We have a very niche offering with our chemical exposure treatment product , and A-OSH EXPO provided us with a lot of new potential customer leads . This was our first time exhibiting at the expo and we believe that it is an extremely cost-effective way of reaching a large potential customer base over a concentrated period of time .” Gary Dollman — Prismia Chemical Safety .
Bringing the industry to the expo “ We have found that visitors generally come to A-OSH EXPO with a dual purpose in mind . Firstly , they come to network with peers and at the same time view , source and select products and services pertinent to their organisation ’ s needs ( 89.2 %). A further 10.2 % come to hear industry experts and thought leaders discuss the latest trends , challenges , and legislation in the industry . We maintain a subtle balance between these two distinct needs by presenting cutting-edge solutions from our exhibitors , and by offering learning opportunities with our two free-to-attend A-OSH EXPO seminar theatres ,” says Anderson .
The free-to-attend Saiosh Seminar Theatre and the Working at Height and Safety Seminar Theatre are both populated with topics that cover the full spectrum of OSH issues , including PPE , training , statutory requirements , working at height safety , first aid , employee wellbeing , and management and analytical tools .
A-OSH EXPO exhibitors gain from an ongoing intensive marketing campaign that begins months before the expo , ramps up as the opening date approaches , and continues after the expo . A large database , gathered over the years and complemented by data extrapolated from other successful Specialised Exhibitions expos , like Electra Mining Africa , ensures they stay top of mind with past and potential visitors .
“ A-OSH EXPO on its own has gained a reputation as being the preferred launchpad for all things OSH . Adding strength to this achievement , is the additional footfall that derives from co-locating the expo with the 31-year-old Securex South Africa , and the rapidly growing Facilities Management Expo and Firexpo . There is a great deal of synergy between these four expos , and we find that many visitors who came to visit one specific show , ended up buying products and / or services from one or more of the other shows ,” says Anderson . •
