"This year we had educational delivery from top-level professionals in the seminar and conference programme as well as all of the product and service advice featured in the exhibition.
"This is why we had visitors from as far away as Barbados and South Africa.
In fact, over 50 per cent of those that responded to our post-event survey attended one of the seminars or conferences held".
