The Annual Electrical Trade Fair managed by the Canterbury & Westland Branch of ECANZ will be held in Christchurch on Thursday 24th July 2008. We may have a limited number of sites available for this year’s Trade Fair and invite you to register your interest in exhibiting your company at the Fair. In keeping with the aim of providing the best venue and best available conditions for our exhibitors and visitors, we have two floors of exhibition space. This has increased the minimum size of the sites and increased the floor area around many of the sites. Every year we try and have a suitable theme which is of interest to the general electrical industry. Along with this we have a breakfast session to which Architects, Engineers, Consultants and business principals are invited.
You may be familiar with our successful Trade Fair concept but to refresh your memory here are some important facts.
