The first International Surface Event East, held in Miami Oct. 19–22, drew 185 exhibiting companies that covered more than 50,000 square feet of booths and displays, according to Hanley Wood Exhibitions.
Attendees and exhibitors came from more than 50 countries. Buyers arrived from Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Mexico and the Virgin Islands.
Twenty-six percent of registered attendees had never attended TISE in Las Vegas.
“Overall, we are very happy with the results of TISE East,” said Dana Teague, vice president of Hanley Wood Exhibitions, in a statement. “We believe that a solid foundation was established for our East Coast event and we’re already planning for a bigger, better 2015 showing.”
