The most important trade fair for the international hobby, craft and art supplies industry
Creativeworld is the annual hotspot for the international DIY sector: the industry's top buyers come to Frankfurt to find out everything about the coming season – from inspiring worlds of colour and new materials to innovative creative techniques. As a trend and business platform, the trade fair is the first place to go in the business year. For wholesalers, retailers and specialist retailers, for DIY stores, garden centres and online shops, it is the ideal time to place orders. With its varied programme of events, Creativeworld provides new ideas, inspiration and know-how.
Right at the heart of Europe, exhibitors can benefit from new international business at the beginning of the year and develop personal contacts with their existing and new customers. Because taking part has always been the best idea!
Three leading trade fairs, one mega-event
The consumer goods industry has a fixed date: Ambiente, Christmasworld and Creativeworld take place at the same time at the Frankfurt exhibition centre. It’s the best way for buyers to experience the world of consumer goods, all in the same place. Both companies exhibiting and the trade public will benefit from unlimited synergy, networking and business opportunities.
