The biennial trade show will present a window of opportunity to regional and international exhibitors who are keen to enter Vietnam and establish important contacts with local distributors and sellers from across the region. In addition, they will also be exposed to exclusive opportunities to extend their reach into budding markets outside Vietnam, namely the rest of the Indochina regions Cambodia and Myanmar.
