Taiwan is getting to be a hotspot in terms of hosting trade fairs for the airsoft and tactical gaming industry. As the island is host to the most number of well-known airsoft companies these days, these companies are very active in marketing their products overseas as they are seen in two of the most well-known trade fairs that the airsoft industry participates in--- the SHOT Show (Las Vegas), and IWA Outdoor Classics (Nuremberg).

Taiwan itself has two trade fairs that showcases the industry: the Hooha Show that is hosted by Combat King Monthly Magazine, and the Camo Festival that is organised by the Taiwan Airsoft & Gun Association.

Now, another publication wants to cement that leadership by having a vision of trade fair that they want to grow as big as the SHOT Show and IWA Outdoor Classics and able to invite the countries in the Asia Pacific region to check out what they have to offer. Called the Military, Outdoor & Airsoft (MOA) Exhibition, it is set to take place on the 1st to the 3rd of December 2017 at the Xinzhuang Gymnasium in New Taipei City.

QRF Magazine, a monthly publication that covers history, military affairs, toys, and outdoor events, are the main organizers for the event. Here is what they describe about the event:

For long time, there are two exhibitions, Shot Show at every January in Las Vegas, U.S.A. and IWA Classic at every March in Nurnberg, Germany, which the airsoft gun manufacturers join those exhibition to present their new products. During these exhibitions, demonstration of airsoft products are very small part in it but for those manufacturers, they need to take huge amount of time, cost and staff to attend it. More than that, as the cargo transportation cost lots of time, they might not be able to show all the product instead of choosing some are very important to them. And that’s a not good thing to manufacturers and show visitors. As the situation develops, to have a professional and formal exhibition platform for airsoft industry is the priority thing to do.

Since Taiwan is located at the center of Asia pacific, it doesn’t took long time to travel from Japan, China, South Korea, Hong Kong, Macau, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia and Malaysia etc… Therefore we can use this advantage to invite press media, sales agent and purchasing responsible around the world to Taiwan. Not only make those manufacturer to attend the exhibition with less cost, but also for those local sales agents are able to seek more business opportunities. Let manufacturers can focus on oversea customers, accompany with local sales agents who focused on domestic customers, creating a “Win-Win” situation.

Hosting in Taiwan this year, “MOA” military, outdoor, airsoft exhibition sincerely invite all the sales agent and manufacturer in Asia region to join this exhibition. Step by step make the MOA a world leading military, outdoor and airsoft related exhibition, creating infinity opportunities for this industry.
QRF Magazine has already a good list of exhibitors for the event, with almost 80 companies from the region, mainly from Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Thailand, and Japan confirming of their attendance. A good number of these are airsoft companies with global reach as well as companies well respected in the tactical gear and accessories industry.

If curious which companies will be there here is the list:

If you are the owner or purchasing manager for an airsoft retail company, on the lookout for new suppliers for tactical gear, airsoft guns, weapons accessories, and the like, the MOA looks like a trade fair to check out. Many exhibitors in the list are not seen at the SHOT Show nor at the IWA Outdoor Classics. This is a good opportunity to meet them face to face in one place and try to strike business deals.

The MOA Exhibition will be open from 0900H to 1700H on all days, 1-3 December 2017. Tickets are now on sale at the MOA Exhibition website.
