Top speakers and a lot of knowledge transfer
The organisers have long established the sustainable and targeted transfer of knowledge at this trade fair duo on an equal footing with the original trade fair business – the format is called ‘Podium Events’ and is in great demand. Renowned personalities from the world of design, the kitchen and furniture industry and the retail sector have their say in talks and lectures. They discuss, inspire and educate – with a focus on what moves the industry.
