Testimonials
Picture Hanging Systems Pty Ltd exhibited this year at designEX for the first time; never before have we experienced an exhibition that delivers such a high concentration of quality prospects. The show was very well organised and the high level of communication from the organisers meant that every question/concern was dealt with immediately and accurately. This made the show an enjoyable and productive experience. We were able to open up some fantastic opportunities during the 3 days of the exhibition that would have taken weeks of planning to initiate by other means.

designEX 2009 the most positive trade show I have done yet!!!
It was a great success for us, there was a great buzz around our stand as we launched my new range of orchid lights. designEX is a great way of visualizing and presentation, the scale is big and theatrical. Imagination has no bounds.

Thank you to the designEX team for providing a professional design industry focused event that was well organised and a dream for us to attend and exhibit. Well worth the investment.
