They were greeted there by company CEO Scott Sherrod and by the director of international sales, Alberto Borrero, who is a familiar figure in the Middle East market.

“The Family Fiesta” is how Intercard called the event held on the evening of the opening day of the show and it invited 350 people from among the company’s global ‘family’ of customers, staff and industry personalities for a fun evening. Guests came from as far away as Asia, Australia, the Middle East and South America.

Two bars and Mexican tacos kept the visitors well supplied and there was a guacamole buffet as well, all held at Rocco’s Tacos in the Dr Philiips entertainment district of Orlando, utilising a private area of the venue.
