Performance Days: visitor numbers up 14%

24/05/2012

The latest Performance Days event attracted 14% more visitors than the same event held at the Munich venue last year. The show ran from May 9-10.

A number of visitors from the US and Canada attended the functional fabrics show in addition to delegates from Europe and Asia. According to the organisers’ analysis, visitors came from 29 countries compared with 21 countries at the last Munich fair.

Event organiser Marco Weichert said: "Our new concept to organise as a permanent exhibition was right on the mark, as proven by the increase in the number of visitors and the variety of nations represented.

"In addition to Germany, we were pleased to welcome interested guests from 29 different countries. Munich is fully accepted as a top centre for international trade fairs; 44% of the visitors came from other countries."

A virtual version of the trade show, www.365PerformanceDays.eu, celebrated its premiere just three weeks earlier.

More than half the exhibitors from May 2012 are presenting their latest innovations at the online trade show, which runs in collaboration with World Trades Publishing (WTP).
