Atlanta Fastener Expo on Fast Track to Complete Sell Out

Exhibit space sales for the 27th National Industrial Fastener Show/East, May 22-23, 2007, Georgia International Convention Center, Atlanta, GA are running 41% ahead of same period last year, reports Susan A. Hurley, CEM, Show Manager.

“We have sold 181 booths to date and the second mailing to potential exhibitors isn’t being made until tomorrow. In 2006 we sold 60 booths between January 31 and the show, which was earlier than this year’s.

If history repeats itself we will be completely sold out well before the show because we only have 53 booths remaining on the floor plan”, adds Ms. Hurley.

“We are also seeing an increase in the number of participating companies”, say Jim Bannister and Mike McGuire, General Partners. “That number is up nearly 46% over 2006. There is considerable interest in the Show, which we attribute to an improving industry, a great location and strong support from the Southeastern Fastener Association”, add Jim and Mike.
