Connect @ Spring Fair is the transformative, new meetings programme at Spring Fair 2024. It helps suppliers create leads, orders and opportunities in an incredibly efficient and effective way, and enables buyers to quickly and easily find the right products and brands their customers will love.
Together, we'll fuel Spring Fair with 12,000+ meetings for the home, gift and fashion retail community!
Retail’s largest meetings programme ever
Taking the unknown out of the exhibiting equation, Connect @ Spring Fair is a meetings programme open to all 1,200+ exhibitors and 36,000 buyers, giving exhibitors the opportunity to arrange mutually agreed meetings on their stand during the show on the days and times that best suit them.
Never before have exhibitors been able to view and connect with buyers prior to the show, enabling them to better plan their time and resources whilst maximising their business opportunities across our large and diverse community of retailers.

"Connect @ Spring and Autumn Fair is the game changer the trade show model needs for the retail industry. Exhibitors will be able to find and meet buyers more easily, creating more opportunities and ultimately doing more business! Being able to promote their product ranges, price points and delivery times before the event in the Connect @ Spring Fair platform and pre-schedule meetings with buyers they want to meet is a step change in helping exhibitors and buyers get the most out of both Spring and Autumn Fair. I believe that this is what the industry has been missing."
