At the recent EMECA General Assembly members gave positive feedback about their trade fairs and conventions, and many even prepare for record results in the next future, due to additional exhibition or conference space with important investments over several years. This confirms the worldwide leading quality level of European venues. Both Italy and Spain are fully back to normal business and are successfully implementing and hosting trade fairs, conventions and big events. The 22 EMECA venues host and organise 1.900 trade fairs a year globally, out of which more than 1.500 in Europe on a gross rented space of nearly 38 mio sqm. They welcome roughly 360.000 exhibitors and over 41,6 mio visitors in Europe. +++++++++++ http://www.emeca.eu +++++++
