Why is Ambiente being held on a new date parallel to Christmasworld and Creativeworld?
In recent years, structural changes in the market and in the exhibitor structure as well as a growing globality accompany the entire consumer goods industry. The answer: Home of Consumer Goods. Ambiente, Christmasworld and Creativeworld will be held in parallel in Frankfurt. With this, we are further expanding the trade shows in their core segments and establishing innovative future topics. The new structure creates new impulses, synergies and opportunities for buyers and exhibitors and at the same time offers possibilities for the changed space requirements of certain product segments.
Will the Ambiente concept change?
Ambiente is and remains the world's most important and most international consumer goods fair and will gain in relevance and synergy with the international trade fairs Christmasworld and Creativeworld taking place at the same time. From 2023, Ambiente will have new product group combinations, synergies and complementary themes, and will include the new area Ambiente Working. It will thus cover the entire lifestyle order spectrum of the retail trade.
What is the new Ambiente Working all about and which product groups and themes does it cover?
Here, everything revolves around office supplies including printer consumables (including remanufacturing - Remanexpo) and office equipment - with regard to the classic office, mobile working, home office, co-working spaces and Future of Work. In future, Ambiente Working will thus comprise a sub-section of Paperworld, primarily the office area and Remanexpo - not the entire range. You can read how the other product groups are divided up in the following question / answer.
Where will the product areas of Paperworld be located in future and what changes does this mean for the existing Ambiente areas?
In future, the individual Paperworld product sections will be presented at the leading international trade fairs Ambiente, Christmasworld and Creativeworld in a way that is tailored to the target group and specific to the theme. The office product sections (office supplies and equipment, office papers, Remanexpo, Future of Work) will find their new home in the new Ambiente Working living environment in Hall 4.2. Stationery and school articles complement the product mix of Ambiente Giving. In the Giving section, Ambiente will occupy Hall 4.0 with Gifts & School and Hall 4.1 with Urban Gifts & Stationery. The packaging and ribbons product segments are closely linked to the theme of celebrating and giving and will therefore be presented at Christmasworld in Hall 6.1 in future. Creative writing, painting and drawing utensils will expand the Creativeworld portfolio in future in Halls 1.1 and 1.2.
Where will my exhibition stand be in the new hall layout? Who will be in the same hall?
As part of the new concept, our aim is to implement clear hall structures with effective visitor guidance – in order to create new synergies and enable possibilities for new contacts. In addition to the products of the exhibiting companies, the market segment and sales channels are taken into account when assigning the product areas within the new hall layout.
How should the motto "Home of Consumer Goods" be understood? Will it replace the Ambiente, Christmasworld and Creativeworld brands?
The strong trade fair brands Ambiente, Christmasworld and Creativeworld will remain as trade fairs with their familiar names. "Home of Consumer Goods" is merely a motto that describes the new association.
Will the trade fairs be held once at the same time in Frankfurt in 2023?
Ambiente, Christmasworld and Creativeworld will be held in parallel in Frankfurt am Main every year from 2023. The combination is a forward-looking and ongoing concept that brings together the markets and sectors in the international consumer-goods sector at one time and in one place.
Do I have a choice of halls and stand position within the hall?
The hall allocation is determined by the products, the market segment and the sales channels of the exhibiting company. Within the hall, stand positioning depends - as in the past - among other things on the internal structure of the respective hall, the desired stand dimensions and the availability of space or demand.
When will I receive my stand space?
Based on your online registration, we will contact you from May/June 2022 (which is when hall planning will start) with a stand space proposal. You can register for your participation online from mid-March.
Can I book a second stand at Christmasworld or Creativeworld, which take place at the same time?
If the focus of your product presentation/ your product range corresponds to the event concept of the respective trade fair, you are welcome to do so. For a second booth you then register online at the respective event.
Are there complete stand/ stand package offers?
Yes, you can book your complete stand with your online registration from mid-March 2022. At that time you will find detailed information on the stand packages on the event website.
Who will be my contact for Ambiente?
As soon as we have received your registration and have been able to classify the hall allocation, the respective contact person will get in touch with you.
You can find all contact persons here.Is there a digital extension in 2023 and beyond?
Digital supplements to physical trade fairs have become indispensable and provide ideal added value in 2023 and in the years to come. We think of digital supplement formats in the long term and not just in terms of the circumstances during the Corona Pandemic. They are valuable additional options for exhibitors and visitors to get additional added value and to be able to network in parallel to the trade fairs. Digital formats are also planned beyond this and are an important addition in the current business year in order to always have one's finger on the pulse of the times, trends, topics and markets. With this offer, the online exhibitor search, the Conzoom Solutions platform for the trade and Nextrade, the digital order fair for Home & Living, you are networked 365 days a year and always up-to-date. Additional information is available on the Ambiente blog and on the social media channels.
What happens if I make a binding registration but the event is then cancelled due to force majeure?
Messe Frankfurt Exhibition GmbH will refund the full price of any stand rentals or complete-stand packages paid. No service charges, etc., will be levied. All other costs incurred by you are to be borne by your company. You will find further information about this in section 11 of our General Terms and Conditions (as of 2/2021).
