UFI Managing Director Paul Woodward spoke about the importance of creation of a security system of exhibitions and conventions. He noted that it was the first time that this issue was raised at a conference devoted to the exhibition industry and 5ðÅÕÐÎ’2011 should definitely be credited for it.

 

T.O. Kirpach, Head of the Exhibition and Convention Department of the External Relations Department of the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, took part in the Conference. A.N. Pirogov, Advisor of Expocentre Director General and head of the Expocentre Security, and ITE Operations Director E.N.
