2024 Exhibitor Packages

Stands for EME suppliers

Exempt Micro Enterprises are invited to take advantage of a discounted exhibition opportunity.  To qualify EMEs must submit proof of EME status and that their turnover is below the R10 million threshold.  Immediate payment through our online Payfast payment portal is required.

Limited ExpoStands and ExpoPods are available to successful applicants, and the packages include furniture and attendance on all days of the event and at the Gala Dinner. To ensure maximum visibility the stands are strategically positioned in the high-traffic PURCON foyer area, drawing maximum traffic throughout the 3-Day Event. The positioning ensures that the stands are seen by every delegate arriving at the Conference Entrance and moving between the Plenary Room and Exhibition Hall during the conference.
