Handarbeit & Hobby Fair 2010

In 2010 the Handarbeit & Hobby Fair will be held from Friday 26  till Sunday  28  March  in Cologne, Germany.

The Initiative Handarbeit has established that there are currently more than 16 million hobby and needlework enthusiasts in Germany only, making a potential market volume of almost 500 million EUROS. Sooner or later, these people are going to pay a visit to a specialist shop, because they need materials and professional advice. So why not present your full range, so that your materials are all in stock when the new needlework fans come to the store ?

Be there, at one of Europe's biggest and most important trade fairs ! (for trade visitors only)

2009: The 27th international Handarbeit & Hobby needlework and craft trade show in Cologne attracted 8,788 attendees from 54 countries – almost exactly the same size attendance (8,900) as a year ago. There were 212 exhibitors from 24 countries. The attendance drop of 1.3% is less of a decline percentage-wise than most recent U.S. trade shows.

A press release from the show sponsor said, "One thing is clear – knitting is back in with young people. In keeping with the times, people best like handicrafts that result in an attractive end product which is quick and easy to make. Hobbies of this kind currently fulfil a basic need to express creativity and traditional values. Fun hats and scarves made of pompom wool are the rage, as well as machine embroidery, basic mending, and decoration with applications or accessories."

Paperworld Creative World : International Frankfurter Messe

In 2010 the Paperworld Creative Fair will be held from 30  January  2010 -   2  February 2010 in Frankfurt, Germany.

The rapidly growing hobby, craft and graphics markets require a meeting point that offers the ideal conditions for presentation, information and purchasing. With growing numbers of new exhibitors, Creative World is rapidly developing into the leading trade fair for the creative art sector.

Occupying a large section of hall 4.2 and so underscoring its independence, Creative World is your direct route to all important suppliers. The Creative Forum, a fringe program featuring the major players in this sector and its own Hobby Art magazine, provides information on market trends and inspirations for exploring new market opportunities. The range of products on display at the Paperworld Fair offers plenty of ideas for new initiatives.
