We appreciate the cooperation extended by the public in adhering to the health safety measures implemented at the venue,” said BMICH Chief Executive Sunil Dissanayaka. 

“BMICH, with the support of our partner for this event – Asia Exhibitions & Conventions, truly restarted Sri Lanka. It was a success beyond our expectations which is evident by the massive number of visitors that we received for the very first exhibition since the lockdown.

We encourage one and all to visit the exhibitions in support of the country to restart the economy as there are a lot of people who benefits from it starting from the exhibitors their suppliers and third parties as there is a cascading effect which reaches right down to the grass roots,” he added.
