What they say
Exhibitors and visitors on their edition.
Three days worth a year of prospecting. We signed with four distributors met on site.
I come every year with my daughters. They leave with memories, I leave with contacts.
The only show where you meet both trade buyers and the general public. Rare and valuable.
Our partners

Institutions, brands and media that bring the event to life, year after year.
