Get ready for the Spring Show Season

A few of you may already have dipped your toes in a trade show or two in 2011 thus far, but two of Europe’s ‘biggies’ kick off next week – namely Spring Fair and Ambiente.

Running in quick succession (Spring Fair from 6-10th and Ambiente from 11th-15th Feb), both shows provide a unique opportunity to bring the finest in Dining and Tableware brands together in anticipation of the key spring buying season.


This Sunday sees the opening of Spring Fair International Birmingham, where Hall 2 again remains the focus for Kitchen and Dining. The show is expected to host 3’000 exhibitors (500 of which are new this year) and an expected 300’000 product launches.

Following on in Frankfurt, Ambiente 2011 opens its doors next Friday for what is known to be the biggest consumer goods show in the world. The shows three sections Dining, Giving and Living occupy more than 250’000sq metres of floor space. The 2011 show marks one year on from the colossal Hall re-shuffle of 2010 in which the layout of the sectors and halls was completely turned around.

Are you exhibiting or visiting at Ambiente? If so come and tell us what you think of the show, and where you think we should visit. Copies of the latest issue will be available at Ambiente on the Tableware International stand just outside the entrance to Hall 4.2.
