SUB: Registration of Interest (ROI) to participate at 9th SIGNATURE IIJS 2016 from 5-8 February, Bombay Exhibition Centre

Dear Sir/Madam,

After the successful completion of recently concluded IIJS 2015, we are pleased to inform you that the ninth edition of Signature IIJS 2016 will be held at Bombay Exhibition Centre from 5-8 February, 2016.

With the objective to offer booth space to waitlisted applicants at IIJS 2015, we had successfully undertaken expansion to add 175 new booths and 230 new exhibitors. The fair was well attended by trade visitors from more than 780 cities and towns across pan India apart from 2000 overseas visitors from more than 80 countries. IIJS 2015 was pegged as the largest edition ever and this edition, indeed, reiterated that the industry does always manage to up a strong and enthusiastic response when needed the most especially in the midst of current demand supply status.

The upcoming 9th Signature IIJS 2016 will be held in conjunction with the 3rd edition of IGJME 2016 which is intended as Asia's largest gem and jewellery technology fair, with 150+ Exhibitors, 250+booths. Members dealing in Machinery, Allied, packaging & IT may directly apply for space at IGJME and need to not take part in the ROI. In order to ensure adequate promotion of both these fairs, focused advertisements will be released in trade magazines, Road shows / Personalized invitations across India & Overseas and Special Road shows will be undertaken in more than 70 cities and towns across pan India. While the visitor registration for both these events will gain momentum from next month, however, it is enlightening to note that more than 7000 trade visitors out of expected 15000 have already pre-registered during the registration drive undertaken before IIJS 2015.

With regard to participation of members, we are initiating a small survey through this REGISTRATION OF INTEREST for the subject show in order to better understand the total exhibition space requirement at BEC.

You may note that most of the major retailers have lauded Signature IIJS as a more convenient show to attend and place their orders making ONLY serious business people and the owners of the retailing outlets visiting the show.
