                                       “YMCA NSW had an overwhelmingly positive
                                       experience at the 2017 Sydney Royal Easter Show.
                                       As a first time exhibitor, there’s a lot of trust involved
                                       and we were really happy with what the
                                       organisers delivered.

                                       We engaged with around 150,000 people over the
                                       entire show and generated over 2,000 leads. It would
                                       normally take us more than a year to generate that
                                       many leads!

                                       The service from show staff was great. It was also
                                       quite a surprise (and an honour) to win the Best in
                                       Show for the Commercial Exhibitor Awards.
                                       I can definitely recommend the Sydney Royal Easter
                                       Show for any organisation wanting to raise its profile
                                       with a specific audience.”
