Autumn Fair launches remote exhibiting

Autumn Fair (September 5-6 at NEC Birmingham) has launched a first of its kind ‘Remote Exhibiting’ package created to provide a solution to international travel challenges and enable leading international suppliers to showcase their products to Autumn Fair buyers.

With stands built, set up with products on show, and staffed on behalf of the exhibitors by staff based in the UK, Autumn Fair’s Shandong Pavilion will feature housewares and home products, plus gift and fashion collections from 30 suppliers from China’s Shandong Province.

Stuart Thomas, head of global partnerships, Hyve Group says; “We are delighted to be working with Shandong Province to showcase a brilliant range of high-quality manufacturers at Autumn Fair. For UK retailers looking to source from China, Remote Exhibiting ensures we continue to deliver this and enables our international community to carry on doing business at our UK shows. The package allows products to be showcased to buyers, with no travel from the exhibitors.”
