The exhibition organizers announced their objective of 12.000 visitors at the 2006 exhibition, the figure was not only reached, but also exceeded.
The 2006 trade fair confirmed its international dimension. This was proven by the increase in foreign delegations, particularly from Russia, Eastern and Southern Europe and Asia, and for the first time from Quebec, Iran, Colombia, Venezuela, Madagascar and Australia.

The 2006 edition will enable SAM to confirm, for its 17th edition, its position as leader on the market for the development of skilifts and skiing areas. A series of Professional Meetings will be held during the event, giving the countries of the 'New Europe' the opportunity to make the most of this forum for international exchange.
