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 gift and fashion collections, as well as housewares and home products, from 30 suppliers from China’s Shandong Province.
“We are delighted to be working with Shandong Province to showcase a brilliant range of high quality manufacturers at Autumn Fair,” states Stuart Thomas, head of global partnerships, Hyve Group. “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.”
Visitors to the Shandong Pavilion will be able to see, touch and experience products in person, while virtual sales meetings allow buyers to speak directly to the suppliers, as well as follow up notes for each stand visitor.
