Two trade fairs, two concepts, two halls – parallel from 28 to 30 January 2023 in Düsseldorf: Neonyt, the most relevant platform for sustainability and innovation, meets FASHN ROOMS See&Order, the international trade fair for fashion, shoes & accessories and its showroom concept, in its new German home.
When Dr. Stephan Keller, Lord Mayor of the North Rhine-Westphalian state capital on the Rhine, and Ulrike Kähler, Managing Director of the organizer IGEDO EXHIBITIONS, open the three-day B2B events, trade visitors and buyers can expect around 400 brands.
They make the Neonyt and FASHN ROOMS at Areal Böhler one of the most important events in Germany's fashion sector.
Two trade fairs, side by side and one-step-ahead on the way to an innovative, sustainable and fair textile and fashion industry.
Numerous talks as part of the centrally positioned conference format THE STAGE, which is used by both trade fairs, form the perfect complement and invite discussion and exchange in the atmospheric halls of the former steel mill: Fashionsustain.
The Conference. by Messe Frankfurt addresses relevant sustainability topics from the Neonyt community alternately with seminars and trend presentations at FASHN ROOMS.
