The decision to keep the show at a double-day, action packed bonanza following an increase in footfall to the SS17 show. Attracting an increase of 16% attendance against their 3 day September 2016 show, LondonEdge’s February show boasted attendees from 28 different countries. Figures showed that the attendance was made-up of 60% visitors from the UK and 40% overseas. Reports also recorded a record increase of 30% in overseas attendees as numbers soared to rival those recorded back in 2013. Even more impressive, LondonEdge attracted their highest attendance from US buyers in two years.
LondonEdge attracts key buyers from all over the globe to the epicentre of alternative style and culture. Now home to the show for the previous two seasons, Islington has a wealth of subculture and music heritage that resonate with visitors, buyers and exhibitors alike. The area is also host to an array of delicious eateries, shops and bars that all contribute to making a visit to LondonEdge the ultimate exhibition experience. Moreover, Islington is also a stone’s throw from the iconic bars, markets and music venues of Camden and East London - areas that have always held a special place in the heart of the Team Edge.
Managing Director of LondonEdge, Carole Hunter, is excited about their decision to follow this new format of the show:
"The decision to run the show over two days at the Business Design Centre has been a triumph. More buyers, more business and at least as much fun all packed into two bumper days.”
With 75%+ of the floor space already allocated this season, lots of new exhibitors and plenty of exciting announcements in the coming months we’re all set to deliver an exciting dynamic to the fashion trade show scene making LondonEdge September 2017 an unmissable date in the diary for those at the forefront of fashion buying.
