The City of Ryde announced its 2030 strategic launch and there were great prizes won by visitors who entered the Passport Promotion as well as delicious canapes and drinks all served on the Terrace at Stamford Grand North Ryde.
There was so much to see that there never seemed to be a quiet moment during the whole Expo afternoon. From viewing the Hyundai cars at the entrance to the Hotel, sampling the wonderful cakes from Stamford Grand North Ryde as you entered the Expo to the yummy chocolate and strawberries at the Servcorp and X Designs booths.
Our Best stand this year was won by North Ryde RSL for their fun "Spin the Wheel" concept and colourful stand and our best Rookie Stand was won by TPR Group who had magnificent tropical plants and unusual plant stands that can enhance your office as well as lift your spirits. If you were tired from all the walking and chatting, Clark Rubber had just the answer. They had a masseuse on hand to rub your tired shoulders and boost your energy before you carried on your journey.
The seminar series adjoining the expo were also a great success and many visitors and exhibitors enjoyed the interesting and informative sessions.
However, this expo is not possible without the assistance of our other fantastic Alliance Partners - Awards & More, GWP Business Resource & Lifestyle Magazine, Inflatable Event Company, WAVE AV and X Designs and our print sponsor Worldwide On Line Printing in Ryde. The Community area showcasing local charities and Not-for-Profit organisations was a great success again this year and gave them the opportunity to display their organisations to the corportate world of Ryde and obtain future contacts.
All in all both visitors and exhibitors had a great day and can't wait for next year when they can do it all again!
