Busy and tiring is the reality of exhibitions - but also lots of fun. It’s great to see your old friends and some new ones all in the same place. We should do it more often; if only it weren’t so darned expensive!
Some comments……….
Next time please let’s have it away from Thanksgiving. American attendance was almost zero.
Hauni, GD, and Focke were all missed and the show was poorer for their non participation.
But oh boy wasn’t the Chinese stand big and impressive.
Perhaps the show should span 3 days next time not 4.
Stands were generally of high quality and calibre - my hat’s off to all the hard work everybody put in to make it happen and attend to customers during the four days.
Attendence generally seemed light but was also patchy. Monday and Thursday were light but Tuesday and Wednesday were hectic at times.
Thanks to all the lovely ladies at Tobacco reporter - for their good cheer and wine.
Tobacco People for being an alternative meeting point and so welcoming
Colin Mear for their Golden Leaf award
Finally to the people of Paris and France - who didn’t strike or cause disruption, were kind, helpful and patient - Thank-you.
