Trade shows are a time-efficient way to source new products, often leading to unexpected inspiration. They offer a hands-on experience, allowing buyers to truly understand the products and how they’ll resonate with customers. With thousands of items on display, it's easy to spot emerging trends and gain insights. Plus, they provide a valuable opportunity to build relationships with suppliers and industry peers with Spring Fair.
What can I expect to see at the show?
Wholesale trading
At Spring Fair there will be 1,500 exhibitor stands located through the NEC’s halls, they will be grouped together in their appropriate destinations. Each business owns a stand and will use this to display their products as they choose. Our 38,000 visitors enter the arenas and walk around to trade and do business with exhibitors whose products they like.
Keynote speeches and seminars
Visitors can attend seminars from successful names in the industry. All seminars are free of charge and based on a first come first serve basis.
