  • “AidEx has got off to a flying start! I have been at the exhibition for the full two days and I have found it to be extremely informative. I have been impressed by the quality and quantity of suppliers exhibiting – some of whom I have seen before but many that are new to me. I thought that the local supplier zone was a great initiative which helped achieve a balance between large and small exhibitors. In addition, I managed to attend quite a few of the conference sessions, which were excellent, - in fact, I would even have preferred it if some of them were a little longer. Overall, a really worthwhile investment for me as a visitor and I will definitely be back next year.”
    Mark Hawkins, Technology Manager, Merlin
