Tuesday evening saw the Igedo Fashion Fairs Düsseldorf (4 to 6 February 2007) close on a 5% increase in the number of visitors and with happy smiles on both exhibitors' and visitors' faces.
+ CPD scores Points with Conceptual Improvements + HMD – Buyers demand a Central Trade Fair Platform + Body Look – Passes the Test with Flying Colours + Global Fashion – Indispensable for Sourcing Management + Igedo Company announces Fair Dates for 2008 Early on
Provisional estimates from the organiser, the Igedo Company, calculate that over 45,000 international visitors attended the CPD, HMD, Body Look and Global Fashion fairs over the three days (compared to 42,798 at the previous event). This meant the Igedo Fashion Fairs are continuing their upward trend, in terms of both exhibitors and visitors alike.
Alongside avid ordering activity it was especially the visitors' international mix and the rise in new visitors that contributed to this positive mood.
A total of 1,825 exhibitors from 52 nations were showcased at the Düsseldorf exhibition centre. The proportion of international visitors rose slightly to 34%.
The proportion of Eastern European buyers virtually doubled. Just like last July at the premiere of the Igedo Fashion Fairs, the four independent events benefited considerably from the synergies generated by the launch of this umbrella brand.
Visitors used the concurrence of the four fairs to gather information beyond their core range at the neighbouring events, thereby enabling them to extend their ranges.
