WELCOME TO...
Showtime 2019
The current buzzword in trade shows at the moment seems to be co-location. In the UK, going forward, Pulse will be colocating with Top Drawer, starting with the Autumn/Winter show at London’s Olympia in September, with organisers Clarion Events highlighting that the merging of these two design-led London shows marks the next stage in the evolution of the Top Drawer brand. Internationally, the National Stationery Show (NSS) and SURTEX will be co-locating with NY NOW at the Jacob K. Javits Center in New York from February 3-6. With retailers constantly on the look-out for new products and ways to differentiate themselves, trade shows continue to inspire, giving buyers the opportunity to brush up on the latest trends in both product and technology, or simply to sit down for half an hour to hear top level speakers or industry gurus share their wisdom. Additionally, shows are also a great opportunity to meet up with others in the industry. To find out more, turn the pages of Showtime to see who’s who and who’s doing what in 2019, with both UK and international show listings on pages 85-102.

FOCUS ON...
Brand Licensing Europe 2019 2019 is a huge year for BLE, with the show celebrating its 21st anniversary and a move to east London. Over 7,500 licensing industry professionals attend BLE each year from all over the world - it’s the definitive event for the licensing industry in Europe. In 2019, the event will celebrate its 21st anniversary and also a move to east London when it relocates to its new home at ExCeL. The move is part of organiser UBM’s ambitious strategy to evolve the show, attract even more European licensees, retailers and licensors and improve the customer experience for both visitors and exhibitors, made possible in part by the venue’s accessibility, flexibility of space and thriving out-of-hours social scene, which has blossomed since the 2012 Olympic regeneration programme.
As BLE brand director Anna Knight explained: “Moving BLE to east London makes perfect business sense for BLE.

What makes the IHA Chicago show stand out for me is both the sheer diversity of product on offer – I will often come away inspired to look at a category that I hadn’t had on my wish list before attending – and the extent of innovation shown, which is unmatched by any other show. Increasingly, Chicago seems to be the next port of call for products fresh from successful crowdfunding campaigns, now ready for a wider market. Ben Phillips, Director Steamer Trading
