Vending Paris adds new features for 2010

International vending show, Vending Paris, taking place from October 27-29 at the Porte de Versailles exhibition centre, has added two new features for 2010.

The Vending Canteen is a live automatic restaurant at which visitors will be able to discover cutting-edge vending technology and enjoy lunch. A selection of innovative products will be highlighted by an 'Innovations trail' to emphasise quality and sustainable development standards.

October 29 has been dubbed 'International Business Day' to promote meetings between key players of the international vending market, an initiative that has been welcomed by supporters of the show, including the national French association, NAVSA and the European Vending Association, EVA. It will include a dedicated conference featuring an update on the European Vending Market presented by Catherine Piana, director general of the EVA, testimonials of product innovations and European trends featuring Catherine alongside President of the national Italian association CONFIDA, Lucio Pinetti, and President of NAVSA, Jean-Marc Nigond. A Business Export Programme will give visitors from overseas a warm welcome, with free access to the VIP lounge and to the international party that will take place at lunchtime on October 29.

Catherine Piana commented, "The EVA supports the idea of dedicating a day to international visitors at Vending Paris. We are confident that the presentations and debates will certainly attract many European business people."

Jean-Marc Nigond added, "It is essential to visit the international Vending Paris exhibition every two years at the Porte de Versailles. During three days Vending Paris will embrace the concerns of professionals, managers and large buyers and will focus on strategic issues facing the sector. We are also convinced that the International Business Day on October 29 will be a real opportunity for visitors to discover the latest export-oriented innovations."
