Although the booths for GTI Expo 2005 had been sold out, the continued demand for booths from domestic and overseas exhibitors led to show organiser - GTI aggressively expanding the venue. The amount of booths this year is expected to exceed 900, covering B, C and D Zones and making this year's edition of GTI Expo the biggest ever. Many of the exhibiting companies have expanded their booth scale this year and some new exhibitors are taking part in GTI Expo for the first time. Frequent inquiries by overseas companies and the great interest shown by them have also proved that the efforts GTI has been consistently making are recognised by international buyers all over the world. At present, GTI has already sent out invitations to buyers who are coming to GTI EXPO 2005 and the free tickets will be sent out in May. The three-day show will be only open to industry professionals with invitations and tickets. It is said that Korea and China are forming visiting groups of more than 30 people to attend GTI Expo 2005 for meetings with exhibitors as well as purchasing machines.
