Decorex Virtual 2021 – Carol Weaving

It is with much excitement and pride that I look forward to the trends, visual gems and designers’ unique input that have made Decorex a success time and again.

Most impressive, given the on-again, off-again issues the pandemic brought, is the highly innovative way the Decorex Africa team has risen to every challenge to create our online store, virtual participation sessions and opportunities for the industry to bring creativity to the fore.

From 21 – 23 September 2021, Decorex Virtual held valuable and insightful online events, marking the start of some important networking functions that will take place throughout October and November. RX Africa has worked throughout the last 18 months to ensure we provide a platform to keep our industry connected, even against the odds. All Decorex Virtual events held in September are now a mere click away. To watch the podcasts held go to: d e s i g n / CONNECT 21

So, while we look forward to our amazing in-person, spectacular shows again in 2022, we thank our teams for their endless patience and agility in pivoting when the pandemic demanded.

Importantly, we extend a warm welcome to those who will attend Decorex Virtual from 21 -23 October, knowing that when the post-pandemic uncertainty is just a memory, we will all want to say, “I was there – virtually - in ’21...”
