Expectation of similar exhibitor figures

The organisers are again expecting around 900 exhibitors at the trade fair duo consisting of the Hong Kong International Lighting Fair in combination with the International Hardware and Home Improvement Fair, to be held between 27 and 30 October 2004. Last year, when the two fairs were held together for the first time, 745 suppliers and 18 400 buyers registered in the Lighting segment, and the Hardware and Home Improvement segment counted 151 exhibitors and 14 800 visitors. This means almost a doubling of the attendance figures compared with the preceding events, which were still staged separately.
