## Reviews

### Gets better this year. — 4/5

*By Roseanne Cao*

Great opportunity to meet build market connection and potential business.

### 2018 Edition vs 2017 — 4.4/5

*By Giorgio Pignataro*

2018 edition was much better than 2017  in term of contacts, connections and general inquiries. We appreciated the perfect organization and I personally believe that 3 days are more than enough. It was definitely worth to be there as exhibitor. My only concern is that today have started Gulfood Manufacturing and the two exhibitions could have been merged together since the attendance people are 70% coming from the same industry.

### Good presentations from experts / good exhibits — 4.8/5

*By Peter Lemperis*

GulfHost was a great opportunity to meet new people within the industry, hear from leading experts and test / demo some of the latest technology
