Details of the strategic alliance with NACS are described below in a question and answer format. We expect to add information on that site from time to time. Distributors attend the PEI show to see the broad spectrum of petroleum marketing equipment presented at Convex. They attend the NACS show because their customers are there. Combining shows will save them time and money.
Manufacturers also stand to benefit.
Over 84 percent of our exhibitors at Convex told us in a recent survey that it was very important that they see more end-user customers at the trade show. Beginning in 2002, the Petroleum Pavilion at NACS will become the PEI Pavilion. It will look very similar to the Convex trade show. In fact, it will be as if the Convex trade show was taken just as it is and relocated in one piece inside the NACS show. PEI staff will be responsible for renting exhibit space for the PEI Pavilion at the NACS show.
