Brussels, 16 June 2016—The European Vending Experience “EVEX 2016” promises to build on the success of last year’s event and once again bring together all sectors of the vending and Office Coffee Service (OCS) industry in one special location – this time in Cannes, on the French Riviera.
EVEX 2016, incorporating the European Vending Association (EVA) AGM and Conference, will be organised in collaboration with the French Vending Association (NAVSA).
The EVA is delighted that the event will be based at the prestigious InterContinental Carlton Hotel, a legendary Palace and one of the symbols of the Côte d'Azur, and will offer participants a range of unique networking opportunities, cultural activities and a commercial exhibition.
The EVA Annual General Assembly Meeting itself will be held on the 24th November along with the first of 3 exciting Conferences. Attendees can then continue the discussions during the afternoon which will be dedicated to organised cultural activities prior to a Gala dinner in the evening where an EVEX 2016 prize for industry innovation will be awarded. A call for entries for the award will be launched in September.
Friday 25th November will see two further useful EVEX Conferences and a workshop for NAVSA members, while a commercial exhibition will be held at the same location. As part of EVEX, participants will have the opportunity to visit this trade show and network with the exhibitors (event sponsors) at a cocktail lunch.
EVEX 2015 in Malaga attracted over 250 participants – including 70 operators and 43 exhibitors – and a large and varied attendance of industry players is once again expected.
