GIVE EACH VISIT A PURPOSE

Decide what you need to learn.

An exhibition, showroom and factory visit answer different questions. Combine them around your purchase—not just around a long itinerary.

At the exhibition

Discover the market

  • Compare product directions and new collections.
  • Meet the responsible sales or technical contact.
  • Record model references and shortlist follow-ups.
At the showroom

Compare the details

  • Review finishes, materials and complete ranges.
  • Discuss combinations and customisation options.
  • Identify samples and drawings to request.
At the factory

Ask about production

  • Review the relevant production process.
  • Discuss quality checkpoints and packing.
  • Confirm who handles sampling and order changes.
BETTER SUPPLIER CONVERSATIONS

Bring one brief. Ask comparable questions.

Give each supplier the same product scope, quantities, target market and project timing. Differences in answers become much easier to evaluate.

Frequently asked questions

Are the listed exhibition dates confirmed by the platform?

Dates are taken from the linked organiser resources and show a checked date. Organisers can change arrangements; confirm the latest edition, phase and venue directly before travel.

Can I register for the exhibition here?

Use the official exhibition website for registration and admission requirements. A sourcing enquiry on this site is not an exhibition ticket or visitor registration.

Why is a past edition still listed?

It helps buyers understand the exhibition focus and find the official organiser. Past editions are labelled clearly; use the upcoming filter or check the organiser for the next announcement.

Can I combine a show with factory visits?

Prepare a shortlist and ask each company to confirm the location, availability and meeting scope. Travel time and factory access need to be checked before a schedule is agreed.

Should I place an order at the exhibition?

Use the meeting to clarify requirements and collect comparable information. Before committing, review the written specification, sample approval, commercial terms and relevant supplier records.

What happens after I request visit support?

Your brief is submitted through the sourcing request process. Confirm available coordination, the responsible contact, scope and any charges before making appointments or travel bookings.
