CEO of Dots Graphics
What I saw today at SGI 2013 is quite different from what I had witnessed last time, which was in the year 2007. Big differences and impressive changes were present everywhere and organizers had done a great effort in promoting this show.
The best thing that I liked about the show was that I could see live demonstrations of various printing machines, and was able to enquire about its technical specifications.
This helped many to take decisions immediately without any hesitation.

My major intention of visiting SGI was to develop my knowledge in printing and to search for new ideas that would enrich the printing market in Saudi, specifically Jeddah.
My visit was fruitful and I got many new ideas, especially in outdoor and indoor signage.

Though it is my first visit to the exhibition, I find it more impressive compared to other events of similar nature.
There was a large display of products and techniques, and I consider it the best among other shows in the Arab countries because it stands apart both in quality and quantity.
The exhibition understands the needs of the visitors and without doubt it will soon gain name alongside international exhibitions located in Europe and China.

I would like to appreciate the organizers for their effort in managing a show of this scale. This is my first visit to the exhibition and I was impressed by the solutions represented by various brands, the huge pavilion of Chinese companies etc.
I would like to suggest to the organizers that if the pavilions are divided based on sections like wide format printing, banner printing and inks it would facilitate the visitors more.
I also propose the participation of research institutions that would assess the products and guide us to what is suitable for the consumer.
