REVIEW OUR EXHIBITORS
Do a little research into what products you are looking for at your next visit. Ask you sales teams, what products are the most popular? What fabrics will be essential for your new collections? Are you missing those all important details? Perhaps you will be searching for small, local businesses or large international manufacturers. It is important to understand your needs and consider these when approaching an exhibitor. Check out our list of exhibitors in advance here.
SET UP MEETINGS
From our handy list of exhibitors online we also provide the relevant contact details for the company exhibiting at our show. Schedule meetings with your existing partners as well as new brands in advance. Our top tip, make sure to specify the meeting area, there are several handy locations on site such as cafes, lounge areas, outside eating and relaxing area, as well as seating areas spread throughout the halls.
