Dear Sir or Madam,
For many years now, SHOWTECH has been the name for the world’s leading range of stage technology products and services and the top suppliers of high-tech lighting, sound and event technology. In just a few months, it will be that time again. From 16 - 18 June 2009 it will be “Curtains up for SHOWTECH“ for the 14th time at the Berlin Exhibition Centre.
Due to the excellent booking progress the space available is already getting short in some of the halls. This is why companies wishing to make use of the opportunity at SHOWTECH to establish top quality contacts with specialists from the international stage community and the event industry should secure their stand area today.
Our newsletter tells you how SHOWTECH 2009 is increasingly taking shape and which are the topics currently of interest to the industry.
We hope you will enjoy reading our newsletter. We will be happy to answer any questions at info@showtech.de or by phone at +49 (0) 211 90191-242 any time.
