Speakers at the summit were amazed and affirmed at the high use of mobile phones and tablets to copy information portrayed on the giant screens.

Scores of OEMs attended the Expo. Among them was Andrew Gardner, Lexmark’s Worldwide Brand Protection Manager. According to Gardner the Show and the Summit went very well. “It appeared to be quite busy this year and there were more international attendees than before.”
US-based E-commerce guru, Ian Elliot blogged, “Of the three observations I made from attending the RemaxWorld Expo and Summit, the most notable was the remarkable atmosphere of innovation, enthusiasm and optimism—much like the bustle and energy of the US-based World Expo, 15-20 years ago.”
