According to the majority of the exhibitors and visitors of the Business-Inform 2014 Exhibition, the informational events (exhibitions, conferences, seminars) are attaining more and more importance in Russia. Only regular supply of information by the industry leaders, open discussions of new products and tendencies would allow the Russian market to remain up-to-date, quickly reacting to the emergence of new and perspective technical and technological solutions on the world’s market. As a result, the majority of the participants already confirmed their participation in the Business-Inform 2015 International Office Equipment, Printing Supplies and Parts Exhibition (Moscow, All-Russian Exhibition Center, May, 2015). 

The exhibition ended it work on 22^nd of May, but the implementation of Business-Inform Informational Project continues.

Each virtual booth will have the contact information of the exhibitor, short description of the supplied products, photos made during the latest exhibition. Each exhibitor-company has a possibility (absolutely for free!) to present on its virtual booth an announcement, advertisement, commercial offers, presentation. In this way every exhibitor of Business-Inform 2014 continues the informational exchange with the visitors.

As one of the most important events in the printer consumables industry, each year, the event draws thousands of third-party supplies vendors from around the world to Shanghai along with various companies that support the remanufacturing industry including ink and toner manufacturers, cartridge component producers, and others.

On April 22, ReChina Imaging Supplies Forum 2014, the industry summit conference, will be held in Shanghai on the day before the doors open on the 12^th ReChina Asia Expo. Charles Brewer, president and founder of Actionable Intelligence, has been tapped to deliver the keynote address at the upcoming ReChina Imaging Supplies Forum.

“I am truly honored to be invited to deliver the keynote address at this year’s ReChina Imaging Supplies Forum,” Mr. Brewer says. “I have had the privilege of presenting to ReChina Asia delegates on a number of occasions over the years, but this will be the first time I’ll deliver the keynote.” Mr. Brewer says his address will focus on the global digital imaging market. He will discuss the key forces shaping today’s market as well as some of the risks and opportunities that the industry faces in the future.

Jeffrey Gu, the general manager and organizer of ReChina Asia Expo, says he is very excited about this year’s event. “We have been hosting ReChina Asia Expo in Shanghai since 2004 and today it is recognized around the world as China’s premier event for the remanufacturing industry.” Mr. Gu says that he is particularly excited about the ReChina Imaging Supplies Forum. “For a variety reasons, mostly logistical, we did not host a forum last year and visitors to the show missed it. So, in response to overwhelming demand, we have reinstituted our forum and we expect many to participate especially since we have so many compelling speakers.”

Mr. Gu says that ReChina asked Mr. Brewer to speak because of the global reach has established over the past five years. “Mr. Brewer is among our industry’s most respected analysts. The news coverage and analysis his firm provides at is website is unparalleled and we are delighted that we have been able to enlist him as the keynote speaker for our forum.”

In addition to Mr. Brewer, Mr. Gu indicated that the ReChina Imaging Supplies Forum will feature a full slate of industry veterans from around the world who will offer their insights and observations about the current supplies markets and where things are headed. The list of speakers includes Sanjeev Mahajan, vice president of NAND, ltd., a chemical toner producer based in India; Chris McFaralane president and CEO of PrintFleet; and Daniel Mazzeu, president and CEO, DMZ Global Connection, which markets toners and cartridge components as well as other products for Future Graphics in Brazil.

ReChina Asia Expo is China’s “must attend” gathering for the world’s remanufacturing industry. Mr. Gu explains that Shanghai is an international city that is easy for attendees to reach and visit. “Most countries have direct flights daily to Shanghai and many travelers can visit the city for up to 72 hours without a visa,” he says Like the city itself, ReChina Asia Expo is easy visit. The show is centrally located at a landmark exhibition space situated in one of Shanghai’s most inviting areas. “The venue is unique and it is within walking distance of many hotels and restaurants,” says Mr. Gu. “We have hosted ReChina Asia Expo in several locations but our visitors and exhibitors love the Shanghai Exhibition Center,” he says. “We expect to see many retuning attendees along with many new faces in 2014. This is shaping up to be one of our most exciting events ever.”
