INVITATION / WELCOME MESSAGE
Dear Exhibitor
The annual SASTA Congress is one of the premier events in the South African sugar industry’s calendar and is acknowledged as one of the leading Sugar Technologists’ events worldwide. SASTA Congress enjoys consistent support from the industry with 550 delegates a�ending the 2015 Congress. Whilst the majority of delegates are from South Africa, SASTA Congress also a�racts representa�ves from other African countries as well as overseas delegates.
The 2016 SASTA Congress will be hosted in the familiar se�ng of the ICC. SASTA con�nues their partnership with Turners Conferences and are looking forward to hos�ng another successful Congress.
The SASTA Council strives to host a Congress of a high standard that both delegates and sponsors/exhibitors are proud to be associated with. Support for the SASTA Congress, through sponsorship and/or the purchase of an Exhibi�on stand, has a direct impact on the quality of the Congress. The income received through sponsorship and exhibi�on sales also allows SASTA to keep its Congress Registra�on Fees as low as is possible. This enables more delegates to a�end Congress which, in turn, provides you, the sponsors and exhibitors, more exposure and networking opportuni�es. There is no doubt that the exhibitors and sponsors at Congress make a significant contribu�on towards the overall success of the event.
SASTA Council values the support received by its exhibitors and sponsors and will acknowledge this at every opportunity throughout the dura�on of Congress.
Sumita RamgareebChair: 2016 Congress Organising Commi�ee
Dear Exhibitors and Sponsors
The SASTA Congress is once again upon us. It is almost tradi�on now, the venue is once more at the ICC, and even in the same exhibi�on area as last year!
The SASTA Trade Exhibi�on is a very important feature of our Congress, as it allows us to not only reduce delegate registra�on costs through the sponsorship and exhibi�on income, but the event itself serves to a�ract both visitors and delegates to the Congress.
For the exhibitor there are also a�rac�ons;• The exhibi�on allows for the promo�on of the par�cipa�ng companies’ products to current and poten�al clients. • It provides the opportunity to network with clients as well as other influen�al people within the Industry
As has become customary, the exhibi�on floor plan is designed to allow for the maximum exposure of our exhibitors and their products to the delegates a�ending the Congress. Food tables, tea/coffee and the bar serving areas have been strategically placed to encourage the movement of visitors past the exhibi�ons.
The SASTA Congress is regarded interna�onally as one of the best Sugar Industry events of this type, and there is no doubt that our Exhibi�on contributes to this view.
Our sincere thanks and apprecia�on to all our Exhibitors and Sponsors- you support makes a huge difference to the Congress!
