In Spain

Blogging a little late today as I've been travelling to Spain. There are two meetings here over the next few days.

Today I'm in Santander for the annual meeting of the Spanish exhibition industry association, AFE. I'm speaking at their 6th Congress tomorrow morning, releasing the first results of our annual survey of trade fairs in Asia. The basic message will be: very strong growth, particularly in China, Thailand and Vietnam.

From there, it's on to Bilbao over the weekend. UFI's annual seminar in Europe kicks off there on Monday evening and I have a lot of people to see. Just before that all starts, though, I do intend to get a look in the door at the Gehry-designed Guggenheim.
