Tarsus reported that Labelexpo Europe 2007, which took place 26-29 September in Brussels, surpassed all its records this year, in terms of visitors, exhibitors and equipment sales. This makes Labelexpo Europe 2007 the largest and most successful label event ever to have taken place.

In total, 24,752 visitors from 114 countries attended this year's show - an increase of 7% over the 2005 event. This included large delegations from Australia, Brazil, China, India, Japan, Russia, South Africa, Turkey and the Middle East.

An incredible 66% of visitors extended their visit by at least a day (compared to 2005), which meant that the daily attendance was significantly higher than the overall figures suggest.

145 new exhibitors:
Of the 511 exhibitors at the show, an astonishing 145 were exhibiting for the first time, showing the continuing growth and development of the industry.

Exhibitors reported a marked increase in machinery and material sales and, by the end of the show, 85% of exhibiting space had already been rebooked for Labelexpo Europe 2009 - the show's highest rebooking rate yet.

Seminar sessions:
In order to give visitors the opportunity to see as much of the technology on display, the traditional conference program was condensed to three keynote presentations, presented by Mike Fairley and Andy Thomas.

The topics covered were:
• Challenging our business - today's RFID and environmental opportunities
• The European and globallabel markets - trends, opportunities and issues
• The future of label converting - materials, technology, solutions and management

Over 500 people attended these sessions, making them some of the most popular ever presented at a Labelexpo event.

Label Industry Global Awards:
Over 600 people attended the gala dinner and award ceremony at Autoworld Brussels on the first night of the show.
