Decorex Joburg wins \u20182016 Exhibition of the Year\u2019 At AAXO Roar Awards\u2019 Ceremony<\/a>: <\/p>\n

\"\"
Decorex SA, and a number of its exhibitors, walked away with top awards at the revered ROAR Organiser and Exhibitor Awards \u2013 hosted by the Association of African Exhibition Organisers (AAXO) \u2013 including the most coveted \u20182016 Exhibition of the Year\u2019 award.<\/p>\n

This was a record event for the exhibition industry with some 330 guests comprising exhibitors, organisers, suppliers, industry champions and the media, all participating in the traditional-themed ceremony held at the Ticketpro Dome in Johannesburg on Thursday, 26 January. And, for the first time exhibitors were included in the industry awards alongside exhibition organisers.<\/p>\n

Chairperson of AAXO, Carol Weaving, explained: \u201cIncluding exhibitors in these awards was a focus for AAXO. Previously, exhibitors were not even invited to industry awards, despite the fact that there would really be no stands or even exhibitions without them. AAXO\u2019s focus has always been to champion the cause of our members, but also of the industry as a whole. The ROAR Organiser and Exhibitor Awards give us one opportunity to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another record for the event was the incredible 40 entries submitted in the five categories, namely, Trade Exhibition, Trade and Consumer Exhibition, Consumer Exhibition, Confex and Table Top Exhibition with a total of 16 individual awards given. To ensure only the best were selected for each category, judging was undertaken by a highly-experienced group of leading professionals from the exhibitions, communications and marketing industries.<\/p>\n

Cementing its status as the best in the business, Decorex Joburg was given the highest award in the exhibitions\u2019 industry, \u20182016 Exhibition of the Year\u2019. This was an incredible achievement for organisers, Reed Exhibitions, who have maintained a level of industry professionalism while continuing to meet market and consumer demands year on year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a complete privilege to win this award,\u201d said Sian Cullingworth, Portfolio Director for the Decorex SA Portfolio. \u201cWe were up against amazing competition and winning this award not only gives us a lot of clout among our peers, but also solidifies our reputation and value proposition among our exhibitors; it proves that Decorex Joburg is here to stay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reed Exhibitions and the Decorex SA portfolio had much more to celebrate that evening with Decorex Durban awarded \u2018Best Trade and Consumer Exhibition 6000 \u2013 12000 square meters\u2019 while 100% Design South Africa took the \u2018Best Trade and Consumer Exhibition under 6000 square meters\u2019 category. Launched in 2014, 100% Design South Africa – a high-end curated showcase of designs and designers – takes place alongside Decorex Joburg annually.<\/p>\n

In addition, several partners and sponsors of Decorex SA were also rewarded for their impressive showcases during 2016. In the Trade and Consumer Exhibition category, Distinctions in Exhibiting went to Belgotex Floors designed by Marot and Sanders and built by Compex at Decorex Joburg; Caeserstone built by Progroup at Decorex SA; Franke built by Penny Patrick at Decorex Joburg and Dokter and Misses built by Dokter and Misses at 100% Design.<\/p>\n

Cullingworth continued: \u201cWe are excited about the recognition these awards give the Decorex SA brand, as well as to our affiliates, and we really encourage the public to visit this year\u2019s exhibitions for first-hand experience of what makes this such an award-winning brand.\u201d<\/p>\n
