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.
“We would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire industry. We achieved something wonderful together last year. With the third edition, we have exceeded a magic threshold for tradeshows. Gallery SHOES hasn’t just crossed this threshold: with a return rate of 98%, we were once again fully booked. That is brilliant and almost unheard-of. And we are working hard to ensure that this continues in the future,” continues Ulrike Kähler. “Our utmost priority is to continue hand in hand with everyone. Together we can maintain the appeal of the show at this high level and also expand it even further throughout Europe. Gallery SHOES has, without a doubt, fully established itself on the market!” Retailers appreciate and take advantage of the presence of over 500 brands and over 350 exhibtors from more than 20 countries.
