“After the more than successful events in January and July, both the FASHN ROOMS and the Neonyt Düsseldorf have arrived at their right location. More than 300 brands make the two B2B trade fairs, organized by IGEDO EXHIBITIONS, one of the most relevant order events. The Areal Böhler in the “fashion capital” Düsseldorf offers a location for a large international community, which leads the way to an innovative, sustainable and fair textile and fashion industry. We hope that this path will be shared by a significantly larger audience in the future.”

Managing Director Igedo Exhibitions

With a lot of passion, authenticity and attention to detail, a trade fair is being organised for the second time now whose potential already makes everyone looking forward for the next season. The Neonyt – Community, exhibitors and visitors are all on the same page: Neonyt has not found a new home in Düsseldorf, it feels like it has come home.

A relaxed, friendly atmosphere and an excitingly curated selection of international brands await visitors at the summer edition. The successful mix of old acquaintances and new faces promotes inspiring conversations and sustainable impulses for networking, exchange and, last but not least, business.

No Neonyt without Prepeek, the exclusive event for content creators and the press. Here, various talks and panels take place in a personal setting: as an open house from 2 p.m. for all interested parties. Particularly noteworthy at this point is the press tour followed by a Prepeek talk with Andrea Gerhard, actress and host of the sustainability podcast “ZWEIvorZWÖLF”. She consciously uses her reach to talk about fair fashion, food choices or the importance of political engagement. In July, she does this as part of Neonyt Düsseldorf.

THE STAGE – the big connecting link between FASHN ROOMS & Neonyt Düsseldorf.

A joint eTicket for both formats creates short distances for networking! Numerous talks in the centrally positioned conference format THE STAGE, which is used by both fairs, are the perfect complement and invite discussion and exchange. The Knowledge Area with its educational character will also be located in connection with THE STAGE and offer the perfect setting for the standard setters, among others.
