GlobalShop has opened – a report

A long queue of visitors were interested in the retail rock stars of the industry at A.R.E.'s Design Awards presentation on the opening evening of GlobalShop at McComick Place. The reception proved to be the place to see and be seen and is an excellent opportunity to network and relax after the first day at the show.

Exhibitors from all over the world showed up with a wide range of POP, instore, shop-set and shopper industry facilities. Some of the exhibitors opted for a traditional set of tools, while others were into modern technology.

The so-called Marketing at Retail solutions by POPAI attracted several visitors, and the prestigious POPAI Global Awards GALA proved to be a spectacular event in the afternoon. In 20 categories, a total of 12 Australian, 3 North-American, 3 British and 2 Italian winners have been announced.
