COMvex visitors

The exhibition CTT Expo has long (more than 20 years) history with different stages. 2013-2015 was the most successful period. Later the exhibition started to go on decline under the pressure of economic and political circumstances. Since 2018 the team has been working hard on both the image recovery and searching for new opportunities, that could be effective for exhibitors, visitors, and partners. Since 2019 the trade fair has boosted its figures and strengthens again its position as the leading exhibition for construction machinery industry not only in Russia but also in Eastern Europe.

The figures speak for themselves: the number of visitors increased by 30%, exhibition area – by 6%, the outdoor area performed to be biggest since last 7 years. One of our main targets is still extension of exhibition's potential and, as the result, the capabilities of exhibitors. In 2023 the leading event in construction industry makes one step further by bringing together key market players in construction equipment industry, commercial vehicles, aftersales market, spare parts, and service.

The core of CTT Expo are heavy machines manufacturers. Many of them in their product range have not only construction, but also commercial vehicles. Thus, there is a need to create a platform that will bring together all the players involved in the commercial vehicles market. CTT Expo exhibitors will be able to show all the products, and new companies can be sure that they will find their buyers. Moreover, construction companies often need to transport their staff. Therefore, it is logical to demonstrate not only trucks, but also buses and LCVs. Out of this, the idea was born to create the COMvex project - an international trade fair for commercial vehicles and technologies, which will be held in the adjacent hall together with CTT Expo and on the outdoor area. COMvex is an exhibition of vehicles that transport both goods and people. We are confident that this will be the largest project in this area in Russia.

2000-2005 Construction Equipment and Technologies (CTT) and the commercial vehicles trade fairs were co-located on the "Khodynka" field in Moscow. Today we see how the world is changing. And with this also the players and the distribution forces in industrial markets are also changing. In our opinion, the time has come, when, on the one hand, it is necessary to unite efforts, and on the other hand, each player shall present himself brightly and individually. Our task is to do everything possible so that the synergy of our projects provides such an opportunity for the industry in an ultimate way. Moreover, we receive requests from companies to organise professional events. Considering our competence and capabilities, the support of partners and specialised structures, there is no doubt about the success of the projects. Since 2019 CTT Expo has been gradually gaining momentum, and for the first time by September 2022, more than 80% of the area of the previous exhibition has already been sold out, there are already the first major OEM exhibitors in COMvex show and CTO Expo. Thus, we are assured of the successful from the largest synergy in 2023.

Participation in the synergy of exhibitions provides several advantages, both economic and image:

Cost effective
All our three exhibitions have the same price for participation. This price is the most cost-effective among all competitive exhibition events.

If a company has a wide product range in different areas (for example, construction dump trucks, freight trucks and buses), then the effectiveness from participating in the synergy is obvious: when participating in one exhibition instead of several projects, the exhibitor bears the cost of building a stand, related services only once and saves the marketing promotion budget and human resources of the company.

Image
A supplier or manufacturer, owning several areas in its business, can present the entire product line and reach customers for each type of product.

Time
One of the main advantages of CTT Expo has always been the season - the end of spring. The time when the outdoor ground can be used at its best. Enough time to expand the customer base, increase and arrange deliveries before the end of this year and at the beginning of the following year.

Save time for employees: within 4 days of the exhibition, the team conduct negotiations non-stop, and the processed leads will work all year ahead. All regions of Russia and neighboring countries are well "covered".

No, а company can have one booth presenting the full range of its equipment. We will suggest the most suitable/ relevant/optimal place/location for the exposition, depending on what the company wants to focus on, or based on where there are areas still available. An extra area in front of Pavilion 2 will be opened. For those companies that are technically suitable for participation inside the pavilion and have commercial vehicles among the exhibits, we will offer participation in Hall 15 of Pavilion 3, since the main COMvex exposition is located there. However, some companies will show buses and coaches on the outdoor area. They will be highlighted as part of the COMvex so that visitors can easily find them as well. This applies to both printed materials and navigation design.

In 2022, CTT Expo was visited by 24,594 specialists. We analyzed our existing contact bases, talked with partners about the potential of the spare parts and commercial vehicles markets, held the first negotiations with companies and quite critically, without exceeding expectations, assessed the additional influx of audience through the two new projects.

First of all, this is a strong synergy effect, which is described above.

Secondly, with regards to COMvex, now there is no alternative business event on the Russian market that covers the entire spectrum of freight and passenger transport.

Thirdly, we hold exhibitions at one of the best venues in Russia and the CIS countries - IEC "Crocus Expo". What are the benefits:

• Located near the Moscow Ring Road from the side of the region, which does not limit access of trucks in time.
• A large area of free underground and ground parking, where you can park and leave carsharing cars as well.
• 3-minute-walk to the metro station.
• Convenient and fast way to the center of Moscow both by car and by public transport.
• Clear and simple layout of halls and outdoor area.
• Developed infrastructure with a large number of cafes and restaurants of different price categories.

Perhaps one of the most important points is our way of working with clients. We keep in touch with exhibitors 7/24 and all issues are resolved. We listen and do hear our clients, select the most effective way of participation for them, support them at any stage of preparation for the exhibition.

Visitor registration will be open in February 2023.

To receive an electronic ticket, you will need to fill out the registration form on the website using a promo code - for free, or by purchasing a ticket online. It will also be possible to buy a ticket at the Crocus Expo on the days of the event.

In order not to miss the opening of registration, we recommend subscribing to the news at our web-sites: COMvex www.comvex.ru

No, the registration form will be common for all three projects. There will be possible to note interesting exhibitions to visit.

Sure. The ticket entitles you to visit all three exhibitions all four days.

The CTT FORUM business platform continues its activity. It will mainly focus on construction equipment and technologies.
A new business area will certainly appear to discuss burning issues for commercial vehicles and spare parts markets. At the moment, we are actively discussing the architecture of the program with partners and building it up in a way that visitors interested in all three areas can cover the information they are interested in as much as possible.
