The response from the visitors was also good and some 96 % of the visitors were extremely satisfied with the products on display at the high-tech exhibition duo. "The two exhibitions have achieved a steady high level again in 2008, " sums up Walter Hufnagel, Member of the Management Board of NürnbergMesse.
