15th Expoanicer, 15 to 18 August, Campo Grande (MS), Brazil

55% of the exhibition space already booked

Over half of the exhibition area of the 15th Expoanicer has already been acquired by 53 national and international exhibitors. The fair is taking place during the 41st Anicer National Meeting, which will be held this year between 15 and 18 August in the Exhibition Center Albano Franco, in the city of Campo Grande (MS). Anicer’s Marketing and Publicity manager, Márcia Sales, is very confident of the success of the event: “The figures from last year’s meeting gave more confidence, not only to our old exhibitors, but also to the new companies, many of which are participating for the first time,” she explains. In her view, the chosen venue has also eased the decision of the exhibitors. “The city of Campo Grande is very near important ceramic poles in Brazil and Latin America. Everyone is sure to do good business”, she bets.
