From 29 August to 1 September, international brands and key players in the sector will be exhibiting what the forthcoming winter and spring seasons will have to offer in terms of ideas for the home and for gifts. Tendence is the major German and European venue for new products in the consumer-goods sector to take place in the second half of the year. It has firmly established itself as the perfect venue in the European trade-fair calendar, at which to place orders for the autumn, winter and Christmas trade. At the same time, it introduces new ideas and creative designs from all over the world and gives an up-to-date perspective on the products that are going to be available for the following spring. More than half of all the exhibitors have no other opportunity, at any other venue, to meet up with the visitors at this time of year.
