Information ‘unplugged’

20/02/2008

A key USP of GDS/GLS is the programme of side events that is rated very highly by visitors and exhibitors alike. Specialist shoe retailers with a very high demand for information particularly welcome the numerous events and trend information workshops designed for assured ordering. The trend and fashion competence of GDS/GLS has become a decisive criterion for participation at the fair. The highprofile and sector-oriented accompanying programme encompasses trend lectures, product-centred workshops and roundtables, the TrendVision display zone and various fashion shows ranging from the Upper Style Show and the Trend Show to Young Fashion staging footwear trends with the matching complete outfits. “Trade buyers will find this combination of information and extensive merchandise ranges at scarcely any other shoe fair. GDS/GLS is the only fair in Europe to give buyers assurance for their orders by means of peripheral events thereby optimally preparing retailers for the next season,” Kirstin Deutelmoser went on to explain.
