VAPEFAIR JAKARTA 2017 - OCTOBER 7 - 8.
So we were back in Asia and myself and the team were excited to back in this part of
world especially following the success we had in Malaysia a few months before.
The muggy heat hit us immediately as we disembarked
the plane and we knew that we were back in familiar
surroundings.
Set up day went relatively smoothly with the show’s
organisers keeping the venue open for 24 hours for
what seemed to be an extensive build session for many
exhibitors. When arriving at the venue on set up day I
think we were pleasantly surprised at the size of the show
and now an air of excitement was genuinely upon us for
what was shaping up to be a fantastic expo and amazing
experience.
We were struggling to get into the correct time zone
and jet lag seemed to be taking its toll on the majority
of the team. However we battled through and arrived
at our booth just past midday with the doors opening at
12. The show seemed to have a steady fl ow of people
arriving throughout the day and people seemed genuinely
interested in the foreigners that had descended on their
show, namely us.
