This year's event featured exhibitors from approximately 47 countries, with a total of 475 brands on display, 58% coming from Europe. Organizers estimated that attendance could reach up to 12,000 professional visitors.


According to the organizers, ticket sales were very popular and sold out six months ago. Today, there was a long queue of people waiting to have their tickets checked at the entrance. More than 90% of previous participants reported being involved in their company's purchasing decisions, and today, professional attendees from all over the world have gathered here as well.
