Hi…first time commenter, but I’ve read this blog often. Its very well kept, and I enjoy it immensely so keep it up

Its a shame that the event wont be in Arraya…we’ve been used to it being held there the last couple of times. It allowed the organizers to be slightly more selective because of limited space…wish them the best of luck.

Not all Expos exactly provide that “support”, I’m not talking about P2BK but since you generalized that all organizations similar to them are working on a mutual principle and that is supporting new businesses and youth talent. I’ve been through some serious trouble with some groups who organize these events. They want to hold an event with least effort and cost and gain maximum profit. In other words they were ripping off the small businesses that participated.

Bottom line is, when somebody claims its a non-profit organization it means NO PROFIT.. not a little not a lot but none.

They already get a lot of money from sponsorship deals so they practically have minimum costs if any at all.

So unless all the money that comes out of that event is siphoned into charity, it’s profitable.

Oh so when you say
“non-profit means sometimes minimum profit to keep the organization going.”

You mean this?
Mishref Hall 8

Booth Info:

3mX2m KD 140

3mX3m KD 190??????????????

3 metersx3 meters? for 190? 2-3 days?

doesn’t seem very supportive and also non-profit.

HOWEVER , it brings out the new businesses and talents of the new generation. so aether this or nothing !! and whats wrong with money as long they worked for it non-profit means sometimes minimum profit to keep the organization going . Marketing and stuff . i don’t know really any one working in it and never been to a p2bk , but i hear good feed back .. and those new businesses need support and marketing and p2bk and any other expo helps in that .

non-profit organization? I find that hard to believe especially since it’s their third event!..and it contradicts the reasons behind the sudden emergence of all sorts of expos around Kuwait. All for one thing, the money!
