It currently includes more than 8,000 products from nearly 200 suppliers, which the organisers hope to grow to over 12,000 products from more than 250 international suppliers in the first full season. 

Digital fairs will also take place on the platform offering (at the same time as live events), offering an online version of the programming of talks, panel discussions and workshops. 

The Performance Forum, where curated trends and innovations are discovered, also will be merged onto the digital platform.

Marco Weichert, head of Performance Days, said:  “We are really excited about this joint project and are certain that the industry will greatly appreciate the synergies resulting from the bundling into a unique, year-round online platform with double the amount of reach.”

The next event dates are: May 19-20 in Munich, July 19-20 in New York and Oct 27-28 in Portland.
