When the world's largest helicopter trade show and exposition comes to Orlando next March it should be a smooth ride, according to Karen Gebhart, VP business development for the Alexandria, VA.-based Helicopter Association International. Twenty thousand exhibitors and attendees- with 50 or so exhibiting helicopters flying in, will land at the Orange County Convention Center March 2-5 for their largest event of the year.
For the hundreds of exhibitors--helicopter manufacturers, distributors of products and services , among others--this show is a must, says Gebhart, because sales at this show can make up about 50% of the exhibitor's annual revenue. It's just as important for HAI: This show accounts for over 70% of the association's annual revenue.
The mission of the show is to engage qualified buyers looking for the latest product developments; meet existing customers through face-to-face interactions, develop strategic partnerships with prospective buyers looking for new products that will meet their needs, provide hands-on demonstrations of new product offerings, broaden brand awareness within the international helicopter community, achieve lasting results from exposure within the industry before, during and after the show and close sales.
Attendees come to network with industry professionals through HAI HELI-EXPO special events and find the latest product innovations that will meet the needs of their companies, stay current with changes within the industry through meetings and forums and further their careers through professional education courses.
