With an attendance of 1.662 visitors , up 60%, the second edition of the show Mesures Solutions EXPO2018 which took place on March 28 and 29 at the Cité des Congrès in Lyon has kept all its promises. A very encouraging result for this trade fair organized by a profession, the objective of which was to confirm an annual meeting of national scope targeting measurement, sensor and calibration solutions.

For this second Lyon edition, the choice fell on the Cité Internationale des Congrès in order to accommodate as many stands as possible. The result was beyond expectations, since with more than 110 stands (compared to 80 in 2017) representing 300 French and international brands, more than 10 companies were unable to obtain a stand due to lack of space.

From 57 % in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, we have also noted 12 % visitors from Ile-de-France, and 31% visitors evenly distributed in the other regions of France, confirming here the positioning of a national exhibition in the heart of a large industrial basin.

In terms of function, these are 34 % Engineers, 23 % of Technicians and more than 16 % from the General Management who visited the stands.

An excellent business climate and technical expertise reigned during these 2 days, 94 % of visitors being satisfied with the quality of the stands, and more than 86 % products and services presented. Friendliness (96 satisfaction %) was always there, with in the middle of the exhibition 4 permanent buffets allowing to continue the discussions around a coffee or a small oven. True plebiscite of visitors, 98 % appreciated that this edition is taking place at the Cité Internationale des Congrès.

Among the main objectives of visits the top 3 consisted of:

1. Data acquisition,
2. Pressure, temperature and flow measurement
3. Check, calibration check

CETIAT As for him, he welcomed nearly 60 people for technical visits to its premises.

The program of conferences and quizzes , developed by the CFM (French College of Metrology) made it possible to distribute high-level content to participating visitors: the room brought together between 35 and 110 people depending on the subjects dealt with. This notable success demonstrates the value of the partnership between the Measuring Network and the CFM.

The thematic workshops, presented by the exhibitors, were also highly appreciated (82 % were satisfied with all the programs offered). In all, 626 visitors attended the conferences and workshops.
