Gallery2020 is a completely different type of fair. It is an experience.
Gallery2020 originated with the question ‘How can we organize a trade fair which will really excite both retailers and exhibitors and help them with their business?’ Gallery2020 is certainly designed to be a meeting place for retailers and leading figures from the fashion world, but it is so much more than that.
Gallery2020 provides a special experience, namely a perception of the present world in which consumers operate. It is an environment in which fashion and culture overlap, in which music and technology help to determine the fashion image, and on which a far-reaching globalization and new media leave their mark. All these influences together play a part in Gallery2020, from the design of the original trade fair stands to the instructive seminars. We want to stimulate and inspire retailers to see labels in a new light, but also to learn what else is going on in the fashion world and how this is likely to develop in the areas of production, shop design, and communication. A visit to Gallery2020 will totally inspire retailers and help them to recharge their batteries.

Gallery2020 is not designed to be the biggest fair, but the most inspiring one.
This is why we looked for a stimulating expression of our concept. Visitors don’t walk past the stands, but through them. Labels stand out not because of the size of their stands, but because of the creativity of their design. Leading national and international bloggers are invited to give their view of the world in 3D. Special platforms give young talent a boost. Debates, workshops, and seminars led by opinion leaders and specialists are immersed in the future of the retail and fashion sector and consider subjects and themes which generate lots of questions and opinions from fashion professionals nowadays.
