Traditionally, the second exhibition day is the most important, full of various events and heavily visited. That was the case of all the former expos, that was the case today, July 16. In addition to yesterday's visitors we met a lot of specialists coming from the outside of Moscow. They came from Tomsk, Izhevsk, Yekaterinburg as well as from Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Estonia, Lithuania and Kazakhstan. Coming from so far and having limited time to spend, such visitors had to hurry all over the expo floor to be able to go over all the booths, visit the seminars and take part in the VIP forum. By the way, the forum is worth being mentioned separately.
RechargRussia Expos are not only about exhibiting products, they are also about knowledge sharing. The VIP forum organized within the expo today gathered the key people from the local and international companies present at the exhibition. The main question of What to expect from the aftermarket of imaging supplies in Russia and abroad? was touched upon. The forum was sponsored by the U.S.-based company RAVEN, which offered to create a friendly and comforting atmosphere for the participants to have a detailed and open discussion. And the discussion was there. The presenters coming from OCP, Raven, Uninet gave their standpoints about the state of matters at the printing market globally and in their countries. The speech of Stanislav Malinsky from Business-Inform, the leading market research agency in the field in Russia, was a real hit. Stanislav provided statistical information about the market of laser printing in Russia and gave some conclusions based on the data. According to his words, the local market is not in stagnation - it continues growing despite all financial difficulties the local consumer may be facing. The data were a real find for the participants.
At the same time the seminar rooms were living their own life: the technical hands-on seminars about cartridge remanufacturing techniques and methods was overcrowded with technicians willing to get new skills or discuss the most urgent issues with others. In the neighboring seminar rooms were held presentations about toner and its manufacturing.
According to the opinions expressed by a number of exhibitors, the expo is an interesting and useflu event. After the first two days the impressions are: OCP from Germany is content with the new contacts they made; the Korean Park & OPC also confirmed the company got some perspective contacts; and the Chinese Menston, manufacturer of inkjet cartridges, told they would probably need to switch to laser cartridges due to the information they got at the expo from the visitors, presenters and other exhibitors in Moscow. The exhibitors and visitors were also satisfied immensely with the new venue of the exhibition. This tells that the organizers had made a good choice coming to the Moscow Government building to hold this year's expo here.
The second exhibition day was fresh and successful in spite of the hot Moscow weather. Tomorrow the expo will be drawing to its close.
Key words: RechargRussia Expo 2009, Moscow
