Ahead

opening in Cairo tomorrow, the African Export-Import Bank

An

after the physical trade fair would have concluded, with companies
with a virtual presence being able to meet attendees, answer
questions, and pursue deals in real time.
All
companies exhibiting at the IATF 2018 will be granted free access to
IATF Virtual for 12 months while other exhibitors will be required to
pay a standard rate of $750 for 12 months.
Exhibitors
will receive a Virtual Booth package which consists of an interactive
booth, custom-branded with company logo; a custom visitor search
feature; live private and group chats with buyers around the world;
windows to corporate information, products and/or services; email
alerts from visitors to an unattended booth; and 12-month continuous
virtual trade show promotion and booth access.
