GALLERY SHOES Article 8 GALLERY SHOES WILL TAKE PLACE AT AREAL BÖHLER IN DÜSSELDORF IN SEPTEMBER 2-4, 2018. In March 2018 more than 500 brands and over 350 exhibitors from 17 countries presented their news at Galler y SHOES, and around 9.800 professional visitors attended the trade fair. GALLERY SHOES By modifying our showroom concept, we are offering a self-contained system with all the associated benefits. This is because changes to the layout are also being made. The sales agencies move into the Kaltstahl- halle. Associated with this, of course, are also the services offered during the five new showroom days that will be starting from the July 2018 edition - including a con- tinuous catering offer, lighting concept and separate entrance to the Kaltstahlhalle, ex- plains Ulrike Kähler. The exhibitors from the Kaltstahlhalle will now be forming one unit for the show- room concept. This change of hall means that the agencies can get on with business completely undisturbed and regardless, for example, whether exhibitors from the other segments are setting up or dismant- ling their booths. From 21 until 23 July 2018, the Alte Sch- miedehallen will then form the connec- ting central core of Gallery with the other segments Contemporary with avantgarde and design, Accessories with shoes, bags and jewellery and Evening & Occasion with eveningwear. » The exhibitors from the Kaltstahlhalle will now be forming one unit for the showroom concept. This change of hall means that the agencies can make appointments with existing customers on the day before and after the fair, but also leaves them with enough flexibility for the acquisition of new customers during the regular Gallery dates on the three days in between « Ulrike Kähler, Managing Director of Igedo Company and Project Director of Gallery & Gallery Shoes.
