"ISH North America" to debut in October 2002; Trade show consolidation the ultimate goal
An agreement in principle has been reached between Messe Frankfurt Inc. and the three co-sponsors of the NEX show to turn over show administration to the organization that puts on the world's largest plumbing-heating exposition, and numerous world-class trade fairs in other industries. The former sponsors, PHCC-NA, American Supply Association and Canadian Institute of Plumbing-Heating, will continue to act as show partners with Messe Frankfurt and promote the show to members.
"ISH North America" will be the new name of the revised trade show. First edition will be held in October 2002 at a venue to be named shortly. The Toronto version of NEX 2002 will be canceled.
