Yesterday night (28/09), the committee had concluded the exhibition with an official Closing Ceremony which was attended by representatives of all participating sole agent's (APM) and other exhibitors. The ceremony was held at Semeru Room, 6th floor of Trade Center Building, JIExpo. On the occasion, Johnny Darmawan, Chairman of the Committee of IIMS 2013 expressed his appreciation. "We are proud that the exhibitors and all other parties have helped us to create a successful exhibition, thus the IIMS 2013 was concluded well. Our presence here is not merely to exhibit our products but also to contribute to the people and the government of Indonesia."
Further, Johnny also expressed his hopes and expectations related to visitors of the biggest auto show in South East Asia, IIMS 2013. "Though we did not expect very significant increase in terms of visitors in this year's exhibition, due to limited space and to make sure comfort for the visitors, we are still optimistic that this year's visitors outnumber last year's," said Johnny.
The increasing role of IIMS on a global scale has also encouraged media to provide more coverage. This year, the committee recorded 994 journalists registered for official press ID, of which 32 are foreign journalists from 25 foreign publications. All of them had helped the committee to publish news and spread the word about this year's IIMS.
