94% of the exhibitors surveyed awarded ceramitec 2015 an overall rating of excellent to good, and 97% said they would recommend it to others. Fully 98% stated that they will be exhibiting again at ceramitec 2018. Show organizers believe the benefits of participation played a critical role in the results. 94% of exhibitors reported having achieved their objectives at the trade fair, namely cultivating existing business relationships, paving the way for subsequent business, and clinching deals at the trade fair itself. 77% of exhibitors report excellent to good post-trade fair business. Compared with competitor events, 89% of exhibitors see ceramitec as offering clear advantages.

By a large majority, exhibitors endorse the three-year period between trade fairs as being exactly right for the industry’s innovation cycle. ceramitec 2018 will be held April 10-13.

“Our exhibitors’ opinions are very close to our heart,” said Robert Schönberger, Ph.D., project group leader. “Praise is gratifying, of course. But critical comments help us to become ever better.”
