Final Report Aqua-therm Nitra 2005
The seventh year of the annual international expert trade fair Aqua-therm Nitra, which traditionally starts the trade fair season at the Exhibition Grounds of Agrokomplex, has once again shown how it is irreplaceable in the development of the field of technical equipment of buildings in Slovakia. Once again, more than one hundred direct exhibitors participated in this the only specialised event focussing on the issue of technical equipment of buildings, and almost 15 thousand people, mostly experts and traders, visited it.
Satisfied exhibitors and satisfied visitors are always good news for any trade fair. One need only look at the figures shown hereunder and it is clear that Aqua-therm is such an event. It has become a traditional meeting place for experts not only from Slovakia, but also from abroad. This year there was not only a significant increase in the number of visitors from neighbouring countries (5.4%), but there was also an increase in the proportion of visitors from all of Slovakia. Only somewhat less than 27% were from Nitra.
The valued expert programme ensured by the expert guarantors and general partner of the trade fair and the prestigious competition for gold medals also contributed to satisfaction.
