With over 300 exhibitors and more than 450 brands, Trends Up West is reaching new heights within its own event series. The entire exhibition space, 15,000 square metres across two halls, is fully booked. International participation has also surpassed previous years, sending a strong signal that Trends Up West is becoming an increasingly vital source of inspiration for retailers in Western Germany and beyond.
'The overall package, a diverse and inspiring mix of brands, a unique location, excellent accessibility, and a high-quality visitor experience, is what makes TRENDS UP WEST so special,' explains project manager Christian Kasch. 'Both exhibitors and visitors are already looking forward to the event. In light of current upheavals in the retail landscape, the industry clearly values opportunities for personal exchange more than ever.'

A special highlight of this year's edition is the focus on the Netherlands, a country known for its innovative design and stylistic diversity. Making its debut is the joint stand Dutch Tides, which underscores the show's growing international relevance. Featuring six trend-savvy Dutch brands, Ompak, Loopvis, Riverstones, Rotpot, By B+K and Koda Amsterdam – the stand showcases what the Netherlands has to offer. 'We'll also be stepping up our visitor marketing efforts in the Benelux region accordingly,' adds Kasch.
Trends Up West is an event created by entrepreneurs from within the industry: Willo Blome (blomus) launched the concept together with Florian Burghard (sompex) and Marco Hübecker (fleur ami). Their vision: to create a platform that is not organised externally, but emerges from entrepreneurial insight and evolves as the TUW community grows.
The show once again builds on its successful themed areas: Home, Deco & Fashion, Gift & Paper, Cook, Eat & Drink, and Outdoor & Living. A traditional highlight is the Saturday evening, when the focus shifts to relaxed networking between exhibitors and retail partners.
