The World Tea Expo wraps up most successful show to
date.
The World Tea Expo, a trade show dedicated to tea and tea-related
products, wrapped up its most successful year ever this June in Atlanta.
The Expo hosted 280 exhibiting companies from 15 different countries.
Over three days, the World Tea Expo welcomed a total of 4,456 visitors
through its doors.
This year's event reflected a number of significant changes.
The World Tea Expo management changed the show date from March to June,
the venue from Las Vegas to Atlanta and the days of the show to Saturday
through Monday. The new location allowed the show to draw in a large
number of first-time attendees, with 28.7% of buyers coming from the
South Atlantic region, according to the World Tea Cup Expo.
Returning to Las Vegas in 2008, May 30--June 1 at the Mandalay Bay
Convention Center, the Expo expects to return to double-digit attendance
growth.
