The stage is set for 2024!

17th November 2023

With a record 4,005 industry professionals attending A-OSH Expo 2023 and a record combined 11,465 visitors to the co-located Securex South Africa, Facilities Management Expo, and Firexpo, the stage is set for next year. A-OSH Expo 2024 will benefit from an extra exhibition hall at Midrand’s Gallagher Convention Centre from 28 to 30 May to cater for increased demand for floor space.

“A-OSH Expo continues to make headway as Africa’s largest and most comprehensive occupational safety and health expo. The feedback we receive from exhibitors and visitors is that it is the ultimate interactive platform, where important and enduring connections are made, positive networking is enabled, and product and service solutions are found,” says Mark Anderson, portfolio director at Specialised Exhibitions — a division of the Montgomery Group.

“Visitors generally come to A-OSH Expo with a dual purpose. Firstly, 89.2% come to network with peers and view, source, and select products and services. A further 10.2% come to hear industry experts and thought leaders discuss the latest industry trends, challenges, and legislation. We maintain a subtle balance between these two distinct needs by presenting cutting-edge solutions from our exhibitors, and offering learning opportunities with our two free-to-attend A-OSH Expo seminar theatres,” says Anderson. The seminar theatres abound with topics across the spectrum of occupational safety and health (OSH) issues, including PPE, training, statutory requirements, working at height safety, first aid, employee well-being, and management and analytical tools.

“A-OSH Expo is the preferred launchpad for all things OSH. The additional footfall derived from co-locating it with the 31-year-old Securex South Africa and the rapidly growing Facilities Management Expo and Firexpo adds strength to this achievement. There is a great deal of synergy between the four expos; many visitors who came for one specific show ended up buying products and/or services from the other shows,” concludes Anderson.
