The 57th IHGF Delhi Fair will be held from 6 to 10 February 2024 at the prestigious India Expo Centre & Mart in Delhi NCR, India. Organised twice a year by the Export Promotion Council for Handicrafts (EPCH), the event promises to be a comprehensive showcase with over 3500 exhibitors across 16 halls and 900 Mart showrooms.Carpet and Flooring Expo (CFE) will be held at the Istanbul Expo Center from 5-8 December 2023. Tüyap Exhibitions Group will organise the trade fair in cooperation with Istanbul Carpet Exporters' Association (İHİB) and Southeast Anatolia Carpet Exporters' Association (GAHİB). There will be around 400 national and international participants. The exhibition will cover an area of one hundred thousand square metres in eight halls. CFE will offer a diverse programme of events for its visitors.
More than 120 suppliers and service providers representing 200 brands will be showing their portfolios to retailers across some 16,000 sqm of hall space—the fair is thus fully booked out, essentially. This trade fair is mainly about home textiles. New at this trade fair is the noticeably expanded range of rugs. More and more exhibitors have area rugs in their range. And for the first time, pure rug suppliers can also be found in Bad Salzuflen. Exhibitors will include the brands ABC Italia, Obsession, Oritop, PAD, Paulig, Peyer Syntex, Rug Studios, Theko and Tisca. The decorative fabrics and curtains segment has grown as well.
