The Gift Fair gets an upgrade!

The first show attracted thousands of unique visitors, primarily small independent businesses. Encouragingly, over 65% of exhibitors have already signed up for the next show, reinforcing confidence in the event's potential for future success.


Following the success of the first event, Xpofairs is already planning two further editions in 2025:


With an emphasis on international expansion, Xpofairs is collaborating with US partners to pay special attention to the cultural differences between the two territories, there is meaningful support for UK brands entering the American market. Interested businesses are encouraged to sign up now to secure their participation.


Xpofairs have learnt a lot from the first show with the help of their wonderful exhibitors, curious retailers through feedback sessions, they have been making changes throughout to make it more successful for everyone. The main changes include:

·       Simplified Registration Process: A more streamlined sign-up, making attendance easier for busy buyers.

·       Instructional Videos: The new website will feature a comprehensive library of video guides to help attendees navigate the platform with ease.

·       Simplified navigation. If you are looking for a specific brand it is now easier to search them and see who is in each hall. If you need to leave the show when you return you will now enter right where you left off!


Another exciting announcement is Mobile App Launch: A dedicated app will be introduced for the next event, enabling seamless participation from anywhere. The plan is that these along with other adjustment will make for a more user-friendly experience to help visitors interact more with exhibitors.
