Global Pet Expo 2012,
Orlando, USA

Wednesday 29 February – Friday 2 March

www.globalpetexpo.org

Exhibitor information and application packs now available

Global Pet Expo photoPresented by the American Pet Products Association (APPA) and Pet Industry Distributors Association (PIDA), Global Pet Expo is the largest North American trade show for the pet care sector. The show is open to independent retailers, distributors, mass-market buyers and other qualified professionals. It is not open to the public.

This year's Global Pet Expo took place from 16 to 18 March in Orlando, Florida. Growing far beyond the organisers' expectations, the show had 835 exhibitors, 2,380 booths and attracted 4,691 buyers from around the world - the highest buyer attendance ever at Global Pet Expo.

Global Pet Expo's success is also reflected by industry spending figures announced at the show. The consumer spend on pet care in the USA hit $48.35 billion in 2010 and is projected to grow by another 5.1 per cent to reach $50.84 billion by the end of this year.

Following the success of the British exhibitor group at Global Pet Expo 2011, planning is well underway for next year’s event. The show organisers are again offering an attractive exhibitor package and PetQuip has secured grant support of £1,800 for eligible British firms under UK Trade & Investment’s Tradeshow Access Programme.

Interzoo 2012,
Nuremberg, Germany

Thursday 17-Sunday 20 May,

www.interzoo.com/en

Apply now to join the British exhibitor group at next year’s fair

Interzoo photoStaged every two years in the ancient German city of Nuremberg, Interzoo holds an unrivalled place in the trade fair calendar. It is by far the most important overseas exhibition for the British pet care industry. At last year’s fair, there were 95 British firms among the 1,498 exhibitors displaying pet food, grooming aids, accessories and services over an expanse of 90,800 square metres.

PetQuip is once again organising a British pavilion at Interzoo. We are offering an inclusive deal which takes in a prime location for the British pavilion at the front of Hall 9 together with a comprehensive stand package designed so that exhibitors can just turn up and display their products. The package includes floor space, walls, carpet, lighting, fascia panel, table, chairs, counter, electricity connection and consumption, and daily stand cleaning. Firms can chose to exhibit in other areas of the show if they prefer and still benefit from our full support.

Based on an exchange rate of £1: €1.12, the cost of the stand package is about £248 per square metre, plus a mandatory charge made by the organisers for the Communications Package of £430 and the early bird PetQuip management fee (£410+VAT for members of PetQuip; £590+VAT for non-members).  
 
We will be bidding for grant funding under UK Trade & Investment’s Tradeshow Access Programme (TAP) to help British exhibitors offset the cost of stand space and construction. The TAP scheme offers cash grants to eligible small to medium sized enterprises that are ‘New to Export’ or have been exporting for less than 10 years. Under current TAP rules, those requirements are waived where the applicant has not attended the previous edition of the show.

We expect the number of TAP grants on offer will be strictly limited, so would-be participants in the British exhibitor group should apply now to avoid disappointment.

To take advantage of our early bird offer, please complete the reservation form and submit it with the appropriate management fee payable to PetQuip as quickly as possible. This will secure priority in terms of a stand and possible grant, while allowing you the opportunity to reconsider should funding not be confirmed or not be available at the time of applying for it.

For help and advice about exhibiting at Interzoo 2012, please phone Emma Lewis or Theresa Swann on +44 (0) 1959 565 995 or email emma@petquip.com or theresa@petquip.com.
