A night to remember 
Post-show networking was strong and the special anniversary edition of the now famous SPATEX Networking Party was a memorable event. Visitors and exhibitors enjoyed challenging and cheering on colleagues with a variety of interactive games and fantastic prizes. With the night still young, the fun continued with a Bandeoke Curry Night, with many taking to the stage, complete with a lively audience providing an exuberant support act.
