Welcome to AidEx 2012
The 2012 event is set to be bigger and better. Will you be there?
AidEx offers a unique platform for the aid community to consider issues of key importance in a practical conference and workshop programme, network with peers and engage directly with many suppliers of essential equipment and services for humanitarian disaster relief and longer-term development aid.
AidEx 2011 proved that there is a need within the humanitarian and development aid sector for a platform for everyone involved to meet and exchange ideas. 1792 attendees were welcomed to the Brussels Expo over two days and came from all over Europe and as fair afield as India, South Africa and the USA.
“It’s been a great event for us - we’ve been able to meet procurement officers from NGOs we previously weren’t in touch with, as well as local manufacturers we can partner with in the near future. We’ve been to several humanitarian aid shows and this is the first with an innovation competition and it’s really allowed us to generate leads and create lots of media interest in our products.”

“It’s been a good show – as a company we’ve been attending humanitarian aid shows since 1996 and think it’s great to have a European platform for aid organisations to come together and network”

“We’re here to meet other companies since humanitarian aid is an area we want to expand in and being present at AidEx has been a huge help. The range of workshops have also been very interesting.”

"We are very happy with the way AidEx has gone for us this year. We have had some very positive leads from some really good visitors so it has been spot on for us in terms of audience targeting. We’ve also met some good organisations that we may be able to link-up with on joint projects so all in all, it has been a useful experience.”
James Hilyard, Sales Director, Conrico

“This is the first time we have done a humanitarian aid exhibition in the last four years and we are certainly pleased with the outcome – AidEx has been incredible. The event has been exceptionally well targeted and very well structured which has made our job so much easier. Differently from other similar exhibitions, we have not had to engage with any timewasters, which is very unusual - everyone visiting is a serious potential customer. Safe to say we have already booked our stand for next year and it is double the size!”
Simon Bugge, Sales Manager, Barrett

“AidEx has been a very positive event and we have already rebooked our stand for the 2012 exhibition. We have done a lot of networking and we are now looking forward to getting back to the office and evaluating the leads we have generated.“
