The Igedo Company looks back on a rich trade show tradition. The company has, for decades, organised successful trade shows not just on the European market. Currently, the portfolio includes three trade shows: The Gallery, Gallery Shoes and CPM – Collection Première Moscow which attract thousands of trade visitors twice a year.
Etablished, appreciated and innovative – the GALLERY, the international fashion trade show of the Igedo Company. Leveraging Areal Böhler as the location for this order platform in Düsseldorf makes it possible to present all segments – Agencies and Premium Brands, the Avantgarde, Design and Contemporary, Accessories as well as Gallery Evening & Occasion – at one time and place. Over 800 high-quality brands are stylishly staged here on some 12,000 m² of space. The Gallery Team headed up by Ulrike Kähler, Managing Director/Project Director at the Gallery, extends the exhibitor portfolio every season and offers visitors an exciting brand mix. An unmissable date for key accounts in the sector, for journalists and bloggers.
Gallery SHOES is a must-attend event. And Brigitte Wischnewski, President of the BDSE (Federal Association of the German Shoe Retail Trade), and Carl-Josef Seibel, Chairman of the German Federal Association of the Footwear and Leather Goods Industry, certainly both agree. According to Brigitte Wischnewski, anyone who misses this event will miss out on the opportunity to see the bigger picture.
