From 2015 Onwards One of the World’s Biggest Marine Exhibitions NEVA Will be Held at ExpoForum

On December 22, 2011 in Saint Petersburg ExpoForum JSC, TRANSTEC Neva Exhibitions JSC and East West Exhibition Management ltd. (EU) / Dolphin Exhibitions ltd. (UK) made a long-term agreement to jointly hold NEVA international exhibitions and conferences on shipbuilding, navigation, port industry and ocean and continental shelf development, for the period through to 2019. Furthermore, a parallel agreement is being planned in relation to TRANSTEC international transport exhibitions and integrated international conferences on ports development and shipbuilding.

In 2013, NEVA will for the last time take place at its traditional venue at LENEXPO. From 2015 and on, the exhibition will be held at the new international convention and exhibition centre ExpoForum, with construction scheduled to be completed by the end of 2013. The exhibition is growing by 15-20% annually. Considering this fast growth by 2015 LENEXPO will be physically incapable of accommodating the NEVA. The new and technically perfect exhibition and convention space that are easily modified for every special event and provided with well-developed infrastructure and circumspect logistics of the complex will help to keep this project of ours at the highest level and open new prospects for development, says Alexander Tikhomirov, the General Director of TRANSTEC Neva Exhibitions JSC.
