The 3D Group of specialist exhibition and even companies has successfully conquered its biggest challenge to date with the completion of the two-day China-Africa Equipment Manufacturing Industry Exhibition, held concurrently with the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) Johannesburg Summit 2015.
Mounted in the cavernous basement of the Sandton Convention Centre, the exhibition was hosted by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) and organised by the Trade Development Bureau of MOFCOM.It was opened on December 4 2015 by Summit co-chairs South African President Jacob Zuma and Chinese President Xi Jinping, along with Zimbabwe President and African Union Chairman Robert Mugabe, and closed on December 5 2015.
Comprising 2 500m2 and some 36 exhibitors, the exhibition offered visiting heads of state and business delegates an opportunity to see some of the latest technology in the fields of aviation, agriculture, communications, nuclear power and military hardware and rail-equipment.3D provided a turnkey service to the exhibition organisers, providing all services from custom stand design and construction to project management, electrics, shop fitting, furniture hire and large format digital printing. It was given just five days to construct the 2 500m2, and successfully hammered the in proverbial final nail just hours before the grand opening.
“With the exception of the work we have done for South African Tourism in the past, this is the biggest challenge 3D’s Johannesburg teams have faced in a long time,” said Sales & Marketing Director, Conrad Kullmann.
