International Expodental: For Three Days the Dental Sector Forgets the recession and looks to the fu

To celebrate its first 40 years, International Expodental returns to the city that hosted it for decades and dental sector operators approve the choice in large numbers
Posted: October 29, 2012

Edition number forty has just ended and will go down in history not only because it celebrated an important anniversary but for the numbers it provided: 323 exhibiting companies in one single hall 20 thousand metres square, about 21 thousand visitors over three days of the exhibition (figures are still provisional), over 3000 participants in the various cultural events organised during the 5th EXPODENTAL Forum.

“The success of the return to Milan has exceeded expectations”, was the impromptu comment from Gianfranco Berrutti, President of UNIDI.

“Despite these not easy times for the economy in general and consequently for trade fairs”, the President of UNIDI continued, “INTERNATIONAL EXPODENTAL has proved itself capable, still 40 years on, of being a showcase and catalyst of interest for the entire dentistry sector. For three days, our sector has forgotten the recession and has managed to look forward, offering product and technological solutions that will affect the sector in coming years, changing our way of treating and rehabilitating patients.”

The number of visitors to the exhibition and of participants in cultural and scientific events at the 5th EXPODENTAL Forum, where prestigious names from the academic and professional worlds appeared on the podium, confirm how keeping up-to-date both with products and with scientific developments is an indispensable part of training for professionals who want to remain competitive in a market undergoing constant change. “I believe that the success of this edition, even more than in the past”, continued President Berrutti, “must be attributed to UNIDI’s decision to maintain direct and constant relations with all players in the dental sector and with their associations, be they trade unions, scientific societies or associations. Today more than ever, INTERNATIONAL EXPODENTAL is the showcase of the entire dental sector, a place for

discussion within the sector, but also for presenting ourselves - and our characteristics of excellence – externally”.

Exhibitors and visitors alike particularly appreciated the new exhibition spaces and services of Fiera Milano City, which hosted the event.

The international flavour of the event saw renewed collaboration with ICE (Italian Institute for Foreign Trade), enabling the hosting of a substantial foreign delegation made up of about twenty operators from Europe and from Asian countries of the former Soviet Union. Delegates had a packed programme of meetings with member companies of UNIDI, enabling important sales agreements to be drafted and, in many cases, finalised. Countries in the delegation have strongly growing markets where Italian dental products are highly appreciated for their innovation, quality and design.

“The excellent results achieved in this edition”, Berrutti concluded, “encourage us to get working immediately on edition number 41 of INTERNATIONAL EXPODENTAL and the 6th EXPODENTAL FORUM (where aesthetics will be connecting theme of scientific events), improving and strengthening them with new initiatives and services for visitors and exhibiting companies. Our objective is to work for an exponential increase of those special characteristics for which the event has always been appreciated in Italy and worldwide”.
