The VI International Specialized Exhibition of Retail and Development Industry lasted two days and covered the entire first floor of the Parkovy Congress and Exhibition Center.
The exposition zone is located in two purpose halls — 43 stands in a Big Exhibition Hall, and another 10 — in a Small Exhibition Hall.
The organizers were able to simultaneously launch two conference streams in the small and large exhibition halls, thanks to the convenient location of the locations united by the large hall of the complex.
Also there were comfortable areas for rest and catering in each hall.
As always, the Parkovy lobby bar worked for the guests of the event, where guests had the opportunity to relax from the rich program of the event and communicate in an informal atmosphere.
The first day of the exhibition ended afterparty in Park Hall. The spacious terrace with fantastic views of the evening Kyiv, as well as the exquisite buffet from Parkovy Catering were a wonderful end to a large-scale event and an ideal choice for networking.
Given the large number of guests and the location of the complex in the heart of the city, the question of parking was fundamental. But the large Viewpoint with an area of 5500 m² on the roof of the CEC made it possible to park the car for those exhibitors who needed it.
An underground shelter on the -1 floor was also available for guests as a backup site, where they could move in the event of an air raid.
