This year’s trade show boasted an extended program of networking and forum events. The Carpet and Rug Restoration Workshop, for instance, was highly popular, while the second ZGF – Future of Flooring Forum attracted an array of high-calibre speakers, including Peter H. Meyer from the Association of European Producers of Laminate Flooring, Criswell Davis from the American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC) and François Sougnez from the European Federation of the Parquet Industry.

The forum focused more strongly than in the past on knowledge transfer. The YES Forum on the third day of the show examined the role of interior architects in construction projects. One particular highlight was the presentation of the IHIB Carpet Design Awards on the first day, when the spotlight was primarily on young Turkish carpet designers.

The concurrent R+T Middle East showcased an extensive range of specialist products and services such as roller shutters, window shutters, awnings, canopies, blinds, windows, doors, gates, control and drive technology, electrical safety equipment, commercial furnishings and fittings as well as specialist literature, thus offering comprehensive synergies for international trade visitors.
