EVENTS
PARIS | 14TH – 15TH MARCH 2016
By Paul Caplin
We arrived in Paris for the
second instalment of the Vap
expos event Innovaping days.
This was geared more to the
B2B rather than consumer.
It was based in old quant halls within Le Centquatre in Paris.
This expo was laid out very differently to most we had seen
before – it was spread across three small halls rather than the
usual one large open plan hall.
The first thing we noticed upon entering was the amount of
people that were already in the show. The place was packed
with businesses looking to discover the next big juice.
The organisers seemed to do well packing many big names into
this somewhat small venue. Because of the size of the venues,
we didn’t really see any weird and wonderful stands, more
booth styles all pretty much resembling each other. Some of
the vendors had made the effort with the likes of Charlie’s, US
Vaping, and BordO2 trying to stand out from the crowd.
This event seemed to lack the fun element that we were used to
seeing at so many of the different expos across the world, and to
me it didn’t really live up to its full potential.
After talking to many of the exhibitors they all told me that it was
a successful show for them and good business was done by all.
