SHOES DÜSSELDORF sends a clear message!
The industry met in Düsseldorf. In fact, this short sentence summarizes the industry event under a new name ‘SHOES DUSSELDORF‘ Appropriately, because: all the important buyers were there, they met over 600 shoe brands, with all the major brands from Europe (including Italy, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Turkey). In addition, almost perfect organization by the host Igedo Company, which once again demonstrated how practical (short distances) but also inspiring (ambience and open, inviting stand construction) professional trade fairs can be designed today. The atmosphere of the Areal Böhler is well known, which provided the right backdrop for a more than satisfactory trade fair in bright sunshine.
All participants enjoyed being a guest in Düsseldorf, a cosmopolitan city with all facets. Meeting, discussing, sharing worries and needs – in these still challenging times – and in the end still getting good business off the ground. That’s what she stands for SHOES DUSSELDORF from the first day and made for many satisfied faces.
the SHOES DUSSELDORF is reaping the fruits of the past few months in these difficult times, when the long pandemic was braved and ways were found not to have to cancel any events.
“We notice how the media significance of the SHOES DUSSELDORF continues to grow on social channels. Never before has there been so much active communication among each other on social media, i.e. between the organiser, exhibitors and dealers,” explains Ulrike Kähler. There was a very important exchange between the trade fair management and participants with regard to the supply chain problem. A problem that is increasing rather than decreasing, and which has therefore led the Igedo Company to make a landmark decision, namely to establish now that the SHOES DUSSELDORF as the leading industry event for the Fall/Winter 2023/2024 season as follows:
Sunday – Tuesday
February 26-28, 2023
“For me, during a trade fair, that is also part of actively discussing tomorrow with customers and quickly discussing what is feasible and what is possible,” concludes Ulrike Kähler.
