The European Vending Experience “EVEX 2017” will very soon bring all sectors of the vending and Office Coffee Service (OCS) industry together in Rome, offering participants a mix of unique networking opportunities, cultural activities, a Young Operators’ Forum, and a commercial exhibition.
The EVA Annual General meeting (AGM) will kick-off EVEX 2017 where members will elect a new Executive Committee for the period 2018-2020, and who will consequently decide the strategy of the Association for the coming years. Immediately after the AGM, three great speakers have been lined up for the two exciting conferences; one presenting a new study on how to interpret consumer decisions to give a better understanding of attracting customers to machines, before a second conference exploring how speed impacts on innovation.
A range of cultural activities, specifically designed to aid attendees network while exploring more of this great historic city, will be followed by a gala dinner at the Acquario Romano, a short walk from the Radisson Blu hotel, which will provide the perfect setting to announce the winners of the various categories of the prestigious EVEX awards.
We are delighted that over 200 attendees have already registered, including 80 operators, and with registration open until 16th November (one week before the event) we are confident that the event will see its largest and most diverse participant list yet.
