Organised by buying and services group, Associated Independent Stores (AIS), the INDX 2024 show schedule has now been confirmed.
Following a successful Q1 in 2023, AIS has made the decision to retail the same running order for the Q1 2024 shows. INDX Homewares will take place from 20 – 21 February 2024 at Cranmore Park, Solihull, and again from 10 – 11 September, 2024.
Jane Bartlett, director of events at AIS, commented: “We have taken our exhibitor, visitor and AIS Member feedback into account in the curation of our 2024 show calendar. In 2023, we made the decision to schedule our shows in relation to industry buying cycles so that they are best placed to serve the needs of both ends of the buying relationship.
“Overall, the response to this has been extremely positive, so we have made the decision to carry this running order over into 2024. We look forward to welcoming our varied customer base back to Cranmore Park for another successful year of trading.”
AIS already ran INDX Homewares in February, which was met with overwhelmingly positive feedback from exhibitors.
George Mann, national sales manager at Le Creuset, said: “It’s no exaggeration when I say that this (INDX Homewares) has been a fantastic show for our business. We had our first customers on the stand for 8:30am on the Tuesday morning and by 8:50am the first orders were secured.
“I believe, more so than ever, that it’s incredibly important to connect face to face with business owners and buyers during this challenging climate. The lovely personal environment INDX offers allows us to spend time with our customers to learn about their challenges and ensure we are tailoring our support to their individual needs, and of course sharing our newness of the season to secure deals with both existing and new customers.”
The next INDX Homewares show will take place from 12-13 September 2023. Registration will be available soon.
