Our show has generated sales amounting to billions of dollars for exhibitors serving the digital printing, signage and outdoor advertising industries in the last decade and a half. We could achieve all this because we also had a great team to put the show together.”

Whilst celebrating the occasion with the team, Mr.Sharif Rahman, CEO of IEC commented, “It’s a special year for us and we will introduce new components which will be unveiled closer to the show. We had a strong turnout from across the globe. The quality of visitors who attended last year's SGI Middle East was the best we have ever seen and we expect the trend to continue into 2012.”
