PLUMBDRAIN Africa
2018 countdown
The countdown to this year’s PLUMBDRAIN Africa,
co-located with Interbuild, has started. In less than
three months, the doors will open to Africa’s largest
construction and building services exhibition, which
this year celebrates its 50th anniversary.
The exhibition will be held at the Expo
Centre Nasrec (Johannesburg) from 15
to 18 August 2018, and stands are still
available inside the hall or outside space
can be booked.
As the only dedicated plumbing, draining,
sanitation, water, and sanitaryware exhibition in
Africa, this event covers all facets of plumbing,
from commercial and industrial to standard
domestic plumbing products and services.
Moving away from the traditional static stand,
this year’s exhibition is in favour of exhibitors
interacting with their audience on both a
technical and trade level. It has been proven
in the past that exhibits that follow a three-
dimensional approach — enabling visitors to
see, touch, or feel — carry far more recollection
in the visitor’s mind than merely a display of
products does. Live demos and hands-on
training will give exhibitors an edge to market
their products to the industry effectively.
The organisers encourage all exhibitors
to create interactive stands to encourage
professionals and trades to experience
and understand the material fittings and
technology that is on offer, coinciding with the
mandatory standards that apply to plumbing,
affording great plumbing practices the
attention it deserves.
