ESDA Windhoek expo a success

October 2017 Conferences & Events, Associations, Training & Education

The end of August saw ESDA taking its show on the road with the association’s first expo in Windhoek, Namibia. Any pre-show jitters were quickly resolved on the day, which turned out to be a great success for all concerned.

The expo was well attended and over 100 visitors walked through the exhibition area to see the latest security products and systems the various security distributors had on display. The visitors were made up from a variety of Namibian industry participants, from security industry installers, distributors as well as end users, all of whom appreciated the exhibitors coming to Namibia where they had the chance to see the latest products and meet with industry experts face-to-face.
