Events and Exhibitions of visitors to their stand . Many of these were members who came to say hello and chat about the industry . After two years of not
seeing anyone , it was really smiles all around as we reconnected with old colleagues and industry members . There were many new
enquiries to join the Institute and if they all come through , the institute would in fact add another fifth to its membership . The quality of the networking opportunities was a further standout . All role players are looking forward to 2025 , to come together at the next show ”, said Jaco Pieterse , SAIRAC president .
FRIGAIR was also , for the first time , co-located with four other trade exhibitions , namely Facilities Management , Securex , A-Osh and Firexpo . This combination offered visitors many aspects of learning and contact generation for their businesses and operations . A combination exhibitor function was held as one of the evening events .
