Experience shows that this points to good visitor numbers.
Looking ahead with responsibility
Regarding the current Corona situation, PSI trade fair director Petra Lassahn says: “More than a month ago we already recommended our members, partners and service providers to orientate themselves towards 2G (Vaccinated or Convalescent), because this way they are on the safe side. So we are well prepared. At the same time, we are convinced that the vaccination efforts of all countries in Europe will lead to the fact that after an incidence peak we will also see a significant calming down again.”
Inspiration and order fair
For the entire industry, this is of enormous, if not existential, importance. In January, promotional products are sighted, tested and evaluated, which are ordered for the whole year, but especially for the strong-selling themes: Easter and summer are ordered. Products with possible promotional branding for Easter will be on show at 31 exhibitors and 42 exhibitors will be presenting special summer themes. Exhibitors also expect strong demand for multimedia gadgets, which are particularly popular with the young target group.
Textiles and sustainability
PSI thrives on haptic experiences, this also and perhaps especially applies to the textile sector. In addition to the exhibiting companies, the PSI Textile Campus offers an ideal trade fair platform for knowledge transfer and networking in the fields of sustainability, corporate fashion, sportswear, workwear and textile finishing.
