THE VENDIES THE VEN D SEI


2018


Two industries, working together to improve t he


Tw custo mer experience


Water coolers and bottled water have been integrated into all aspects of our public and private lives, as the health and lifestyle benefits of suffff icient hydration are recognised. Drinks like coffff ee, tea and juices also help to replenish vital fluids and the quality of the water content is Key to the consumer’s enjoyment of it.


Water and vending are, therefore, intrinsically linked, which is why the EDWCA (European DrinkingWater Cooler Association) has again teamed up with Vending International publisher and Vendies organiser, Datateam Business Media to hold its new 2018 Business Day & Trade Show alongside the Awards event in October. By coming together to talk to customers, it is hoped that buyers of tter


these products and services will be able to make even bett choices in the future.


The Business Day & Trade Show has been designed to flow from the morning, through to The Vendies in the evening. From the Speakers Programme, to the Trade Show (which will feature exhibitors from both the water and vending industries) and the Round-T ble discussions, it has been driven by a desire to provide opportunities for education and networking.Manufacturers, suppliers, operators and end users all stand to benefit from the water, coffff ee and vending industries uniting at these hotly anticipated day and evening events.

There is also the opportunity to nominate other companies and individuals for an award, something which is very important says EDWCA vice chair David Albers: “Our industry is relatively small, and with business relationships built up over many years. However, this is the opportunity to nominate and say ‘thank you’ to your operators or suppliers, as well as your team, for making this industry such a great place to work.”
