WoodEX for Africa 2018 was the biggest event to date, with almost double
the number of brands and exhibitors on show compared to previous years.
The event also showcased a notably more diverse offering and enjoyed
unprecedented exposure to both visitors and exhibitors from close to 30
different countries. This was in part due to the inclusion of the inaugural
edition of the Deck & Flooring Expo, which added significant value for
exhibitors and visitors.
BETTER TOGETHER
WoodEX for Africa and the Deck & Flooring Expo are joining forces with
Africa’s biggest construction expo, the African Construction Expo, to
present the ultimate industry-focused trade expo in Africa in 2020.
Held for the past seven years, the African Construction Expo provides a
unique platform to engage with key industry stakeholders and to conduct
valuable business.
Sharing space makes perfect sense, and the statistics tell the story. With
the Construction Africa Expo’s 45 participating countries, more than 200
leading exhibition brands and more than 7 000 visitors sharing the stage
with WoodEX for Africa and the Deck & Flooring Expo’s 30 participating
countries, 120 leading exhibition brands and more than 2 500 visitors, the
stage is set to seal great business deals, develop networking opportunities
and to learn more about the various industries.
