Anticipation is building in Sydney as industry suppliers scramble to book the few remaining spaces at a packed Visual Impact Sydney 2016, to be held from 15 – 17 September in Halls 5 & 6 of the Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park.
More than 95% of the show’s floor space is already booked out and visitors from the sign, display, engraving and wide-format print markets are expected to flock to pre-register online when the portal opens today.
This year, organisers anticipate that more than 5,000 industry business owners and decision makers will gather in Sydney for the show, with numbers further boosted by more than 1,000 retail professionals who are expected to attend the co-located POPAI Marketing @ Retail Expo.
And there will be plenty to see, with Peter Harper – General Manager, Trade Shows and Publications for the expo’s organisers, Visual Connections – saying the show is shaping up as one of the best ever.
“The list of exhibitors reads like a ‘who’s who’ of the industry’s biggest names, whose major showcases will be complemented by an array of specialist suppliers and innovative newcomers to provide a genuinely strong value for visitors,” Harper says.
“Visual Impact focuses on helping businesses improve their profitability, expand their offerings to the market and create entirely new revenue streams with ideas that help them stay ahead of the curve and plan for future success.
Bringing technologies and solutions together all ‘under one roof’, will be leading names including Currie Group, Jetmark, Roland, AVS, HP, Mimaki, Canon, Pozitive, Multicam, Kiwo, Epson and Graphic Art Mart, together with a diverse range of other industry suppliers, providing a showcase of everything from wide format print, to design and MIS systems, POP, display and exhibition solutions, structural signage systems and lighting technologies.
Leading the POPAI display will be a showcase of entries from the 2016 POPAI Marketing @ Retail Awards – well over 120 real-life, in-marketing activations – complemented by the best work and latest innovations from the leading lights of the Australian retail marketing industry, which Harper says will perfectly complement the Visual Impact offering.
Visual Impact Sydney 2016 and Marketing @ Retail will run from 10am to 5pm on Thursday 15 and Friday 16 September, and from 10am until 4pm on Saturday 18 September in Halls 5 and 6 of the Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park. To find out more, or pre-register for the show, go to
