Informations
For the third consecutive year, the Carrousel du Louvre (Paris) hosted the Premium Sourcing trade show on September 1st and 2nd. This essential event, as every year, marks the start of the new season for the promotional merchandise and textiles market. For its 11th edition, it emerged as the key business event of the year, where both visitors and exhibitors were delighted to meet again!
A RETURN TO NORMAL
While the 2020 edition was marked by an unprecedented health situation, the 2021 edition seems to indicate an imminent return to normal. With 1,754 visitors and 123 exhibitorsThe 11th edition is part of a very encouraging post-Covid dynamic for the market. Participants, both exhibitors and visitors, have shown a real desire to develop the promotional merchandise business.
"This edition of Premium Sourcing was exceptional in every way! The 2FPCO would like to thank the 656 Editions team for the excellent organization, which facilitated fruitful discussions and allowed us to connect directly with our members and visitors wishing to join us. Our exhibiting members, as well as visitors, shared their appreciation for the quality of the visitors and the ranges of promotional products presented. Perhaps we have found the formula for emerging from the crisis, or even for growth: a more professional, more structured, better trained and informed market, offering useful, durable, and responsible products. This is certainly the vision shared by all members of the French Federation of Promotional Products Professionals.»
Antony Villéger, President of the 2FPCO
A WHOLE PROGRAM
Discussions flowed freely this year around not one, but two business bars set up in each hall of the show. Visitors were thus able to network in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Another key area of the show was Print Live. Organized in partnership with Must Technologie and Fruit of the Loom, this demonstration workshop offered visitors the opportunity to watch t-shirts being printed live and leave with their own collector's item. Finally, to stay up-to-date on major trends and discuss the hot topics in the market, one had to head upstairs where conferences and roundtables were held throughout the two days of the show. On the agenda: a market study, CSR at the heart of business models, the use of bamboo being re-evaluated, marketing advice, and more.
