The Expo was followed by the Hills Chamber of Commerce after-5 networking event for May. This is one of the two biggest Chamber events each year and due to the support of our Expo Sponsors, Castle Hill RSL Club and Power Ford, was also free to attend with free drinks and canapés served after the closure of the Expo. Expo Manager David Milne: “the 2007 Hills Business Expo was bigger than last year and a created a significant opportunity for local business people to see other businesses that operate in the Hills District at the one time all under one roof. It was a fantastic oppotunity to see what local business has to offer.” Visitors and Exhibitors alike commented positively on the more free-flowing floor-plan and the more streamlined registration process as they arrived. Expo Edge would like to thank the sponsors, Support Partners, Exhibitors and visitors that participated in making this event such a huge success. Please scroll down to see actual visitor statistics from the event. You can also check out the best stand awards being received as well as a list of prize winners from the passport promotion incorporated into all our expos. They really are great events to showcase your business or find out the products and services available locally. Planning for the 2008 event has already commenced.
