Dome and NCCI promise best SWAITEX yet

The Swakopmund International Trade Expo returns with much fanfare and promises to be bigger and better than in previous years, according to events coordinator Romona Poulton. SWAITEX will be held at The Dome again, and this year's theme is 'Embracing Innovation and Technology'. SWAITEX will run from 11 to 14 October. Poulton says there has been great interest from the public so far. “More than 70 stalls have been confirmed, and SWAITEX will host several new focus points. But we have ensured that we can accommodate up to 150 exhibitors. People have until 31 August to book their spot,” she says. Poulton, who has been involved with the organisation of a number of major events in Dubai and who feels very passionate about SWAITEX 2017, says they have been working around the clock to ensure that everything will be in place, and perfectly so. Over the past four years SWAITEX has hosted exhibitors in the mining, tourism, transport, medical, energy, education, logistic, public services, commercial and retail industries. There has also been strong representation from the SME, sports, wine, décor, catering, construction and outdoor sectors. According to Poulton, everybody is working hard to bring more companies on board from industries that have not participated before, such as the infrastructure, medical and financial sectors. Poulton says at the moment the main focus is on the SWAITEX fundraising dinner that will be held at the Dome Conference Centre on 16 September. Around 300 people will be able to attend the dinner, which promises to be an unforgettable affair. Tables or individual tickets can be bought, she says. “Our gala dinner theme this year is 'On Safari', to echo and celebrate the wonderful assets of our unique country and region. Great food, great company, great live music will make for a very special evening,” she says.STAFF REPORTER
