A time to make friends at Sonepar
More than 13,000 visitors traveled to Hanover on May 13th and 14th. 80 busses ferried visitors from the branches to the fairground. The Sonepar Deutschland people offered a diversified program: beside product information from suppliers, Sonepar’s services were presented at their own booths. The e-Business booth, where easypro, (the on-line buying platform, Scan-IT the mobile scanner and eas-y, (marketing platform for installers) were presented were visited by many people.
Every hour special seminars took place in the convention center near the fairground. The bargain booth – nearly an institution at the Sonepar Deutschland fairs, had many visitors as always, so many that it was nearly picked clean when the fair came to the end.
