With only six weeks away,  the countdown to the region’s largest combined entertainment and exhibition event, is on.  The Zululand Expo committee are hard at work finalizing last minute details for this year’s Zululand Expo which takes place in Richards Bay from 25 – 27 September 2008.   

GROWING EACH YEAR

With the clocking ticking, the team are finalizing all arrangements to bring another great show to our doorsteps.   Since its inception in 2000, the Zululand Expo has grown both in exhibitor’s attendance and visitors to the event.    In 2000 exhibitor participation was 180 and public attendance 17 000, last year 266 exhibitors from all over South Africa visited our town, together with 27 000 members of the public.

Virna McMaster, Zululand Expo Manager received a combined cheque from BHP Billiton’s Hillside and Bayside aluminium smelters on Thursday 31st July, once again showing their outstanding commitment and support to Zululand’s largest event, the Zululand Expo.

This contribution will go towards Zululand Expo 2008 that will once again play host to thousands of people in celebration of Zululand’s premier entertainment and exhibition, that is always an event not to be missed in Richards Bay, now in its 9th year.  The smelters have once again supported Zululand Expo,  as it is considered a safe and family-orientated premier event that meets the needs of all age groups and cultures as well as provides a platform for local and national trade.

The smelters wish the coordinators well in their difficult task of fundraising and providing yet another successful event between 25th and 27th September 2008.

The Zululand Expo committee would like to inform interested parties that a call is made for quotations for the following services for Zululand Expo 2008.

With only six months to go, plans are already well underway for Zululand’s biggest business and social event, the  Zululand Expo, which is a  combined entertainment and exhibition showcase that attracts over 300 exhibitors and 28 000 visitors from all over South Africa to our town.

This year the show organizers have planned to run Zululand Expo from Thursday, 25 September until Saturday 27th September 2008,  on the ZCBF Community Park show grounds in Richards Bay.

Due to the demand of stands and having been sold out a month ahead of schedule for the last 2 years, the committee has decided that this year, exhibitors will only be given stands on a first come first serve basis.    Selection of exhibitors will be strict to avoid duplication of products and also to be able to give new exhibitors the opportunity to book space at the show.
