Highly Qualified Attendees:
DAX is highly selective of who we invite to our show, so you will be busy and you won't be pestered by swag hunters or waste your time on people who aren't actually interested in your product. Most exhibitors tell us they gather as many leads and are just as busy at DAX as they are at shows that claim double the attendance.
