Mido keeps exhibitors waiting

Speculation that Mido's organisers might have to reduce the number of exhibition halls at the 2010 event as a result of lower exhibitor numbers has proved to be unfounded, Optician has learnt.

Conjecture that the number of exhibition halls at Mido 2010 (March 5-7) would drop from the usual five arose after the event's organisers failed to send stand details to exhibitors until the end of January.

A regular exhibitor who wished to remain anonymous told Optician that by the end of January they had still not been given a stand number or been told which hall they would be exhibiting in. The exhibitor said that in the past this information had been sent much earlier.
