Producers from all over the world use the IGW to test-market food and luxury items and establish a brand image. Exhibitors often organize around national, regional, or product themes.

My attendance was of both as pleasure, and then of attendance as Representative for fischeries of Cuxhaven. For I was of only of one in number of several for much more important then of my self.

We as poor Representatives of the chosen few, were to be upon entry, to place of our business cards of identification upon the entry basket. Upon the business cards, we described of our selves, our business, product and location of later of contact in as of a business matter.

We then were to seat at a numbered table. The ladies then latter of the event, would pick up of our previous placed business cards, walk up to our prescribed table, announce of our selves {my self} of introduction, our namen, product, and for our selves {me} to stand up and describe of our business and product and source of contact at present or later date.
