ABC-Salon 2021: Cancellation of the trade fair at the end of March

High planning uncertainty for trade fairs and events After many discussions with exhibitors, the organizer AVR Messe- und Veranstaltung GmbH has come to the decision to cancel ABC-Salon 2021 for the time being. The current situation unfortunately forces the organizer to do so: it is currently completely unclear to what extent authorities will already issue permits or how long the lock down will last and therefore no reasonable planning can be made, neither by the exhibitors, the trade visitors nor the organizer. In addition, at this point the organizer cannot foresee how the situation will develop, when stores will reopen and when weddings will be celebrated again. It is unlikely that trade fairs and events can take place before Easter – and even if it were possible to hold an event like ABC-Salon, this would involve efforts as well as expenses and thus a high risk for trade visitors and exhibitor, while only low visitor numbers could be expected. High burden for the trade The trade is currently struggling with full warehouses, high running costs and lack of income. Thus, there are hardly any financial means left to order new collections on a large scale. In addition, it is unclear when weddings – with everything that goes with them – can be celebrated again, resulting in further uncertainty. Short-term organization of a summer event not excluded If there should be a positive development in the coming months and retailers and their customers would like to have a summer event, it would be possible to organize and design it as needed. However, the organizer is already focusing the planning on next year: despite all challenges, the organizer is looking ahead to the next trade fair

33% more labels and 23% more visitors than last year:

ABC-Salon in Munich set new records on both order days. The organizers of ABC-Salon are just as enthusiastic about the all-round positive feedback on the order fair at MOC Munich as exhibitors and visitors. As it turned out, the success story of the compact trade fair with familial feel could be continued this year: from March 1 to 2, 2020, more than 115 renowned labels presented themselves at ABC-Salon – more than ever before. A total of 642 visitors came to Munich to order the new collections at this point in time, which was deliberately chosen early in the year – a new record number of visitors. Another proof for the reputation of ABC -Salon: the visitors came not only from the whole of the Federal Republic of Germany, Austria and Switzerland, but also from the Czech Republic, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Slovenia and Ukraine. “This was the best ABC-Salon we have ever attended. We have never been able to generate such strong sales and generate so many customers, including many from Austria and Switzerland as well as from Northern Germany and the Ruhr area. In addition to our own in-house trade fairs, ABC-Salon is the only trade fair where we exhibit. We feel very comfortable here and thank the organizer for the great trade fair organization, ” said Eduard Pfizenmaier, Managing Director of Fashion Queen GmbH. ABC-Salon was opened with a fashion show. With live music from the band Stanzi Joy and a glass of sparkling wine, the guests got on well and were able to get into conversation, draw inspiration from selected styles for the new season and order them earlier than at other fairs. Exhibitors and visitors were extremely enthusiastic about
