Brussels, 03 August 2015—2015 marks a turning phase in the type of Events planned by the European Vending Association (EVA), with the 2015 European Vending Experience (EVEX) being organised in close collaboration with the Spanish Vending Association (ANEDA).
This year’s Event is ‘Something different’ which will promote OCS and vending directly to the Authorities, Media and the general public; as well as providing an increase in networking opportunities, useful discussions on innovations, comparing best practice, and new sponsoring opportunities for our Members.
During the entirety of EVEX, a ‘Wow special vending experience’ will be placed in the commercial area of the Maria Zambrano train station to highlight the latest innovations in the industry, specifically to the public. The aim is to present an up-to-date, fun and positive image of OCS and vending directly to consumers and to create awareness of how advanced and even interactive the industry can be.
The EVA Annual General Assembly Meeting will be held on the 26th November, which will include elections to the Executive Committee for 2016-17. A Conference will follow on the 27th November, which will feature a discussion on latest industry innovations, an exchange of best practice between European operators, and a forum on latest developments for manufacturers and suppliers.
Concurrently, a small commercial exhibition, “VII Jornada Piensa en Vending” will be held on the 27th November in the same location. As part of EVEX, participants will have the opportunity to visit this trade show, and network with the exhibitors at a joint lunch.
We are pleased to announce that EVEX 2015 has already been actively supported by a wide range of EVA Members who have chosen to be sponsors. Nayax is the Wow sponsor, with other confirmed large sponsors being Suzo-Happ, Microtronic, Ingenico, N&W, and Verifone. Each sponsorship opportunity provides unique benefits and visibility to our partners, including exhibiting at the commercial show, in what promises to be a significant event for the industry this year.
A new type of event deserves a special location, and we are pleased that EVEX 2015 will be held and based in Malaga, with some activities also arranged at the famous Alhambra in Granada.
The EVA and ANEDA have created a dedicated website to provide information about the Event and allow participants to register. A link to the registration website can be found here and on the EVA website. Updates and information on the event will also be provided on the new dedicated Twitter account - @EVEX2015
We are looking forward to seeing you and a wide range of key industry actors on 26th and 27th November.
