Comments

Hear it from our exhibitors & visitors

Buyers arrived prepared and ready to talk volume. That is rare at a public-facing fair.
Chen Wei Exhibitor, Hangzhou Silk
The pavilions are the real thing — staffed by people from those countries, not a themed backdrop.
Sofia Marchetti Visitor, Milan
Footfall was steady from open to close every single day. We are already booked for next year.
Ahmed Al-Rashid Exhibitor, Gulf Foods
Well organised, genuinely international, and the evening programme was worth the trip alone.
Priya Venkatesh Visitor, Bengaluru
We covered our stand cost in the first two days and left with a year of orders.
Tomas Reinhold Exhibitor, Nordwerk
The only fair in the region where I reliably find traders I have never heard of.
Leila Haddad Gallery buyer, Amman
