After the successful 40th edition, MIDO 2011  will again open its doors on March 4th-5th and 6th together, as always, with the other fashion exhibitions in Milan: MIPEL, MIFUR and MICAM, and it will present the world premiere of the latest trends in eyewear fashion.

Oversized or small and intriguing, eyewear is the must – have fashion accessory. Charmant designers will be introducing their new models, inspired by colors, patterns and fabrics of the apparel collections.

 The Eyemanager Forum, taking place during the three days of Mido is a must for those, who want to be updated on the most innovative sales techniques for the optical world you should attend.

Right at the beginning of the new business year, the world’s leading trade fair Christmasworld presents the trends and innovations for all festivities of the year – from Christmas, New Year and St. Valentine’s Day to Easter, summer parties and Halloween.

 At Christmasworld 2010 976 exhibitors from 36 countries attracted more than 30,000 visitors from 106 countries with a wide range of products, ideas and innovations.

 Participating or visiting this show, enables you to be one step ahead of the competition and take more clients from the market, so attending Christmasworld 2011 is a must for all in the industry.

 With 30 to 50  fairs annually, Frankfurt is the main conference and convention city in Germany. Therefore, hotels are fully booked most of the year and visitors are recommended to make reservations well in advance. This applies especially for January, when three leading trade fairs – Paperworld, Christmasworld and Beautyworld – are held together.

Nor-Shipping 2009 closed on 12 June after 4 days with record numbers of visitors and exhibitor representatives. A total of 15,599 visitors came to the exhibition venue during the exhibition, along with a total of 17,780 exhibitor representatives. This redesigned thematic exhibition layout was a success, and Nor-Shipping 2011 will feature a similar layout.

It is crucial to reserve hotel rooms as soon as participation in Nor Shipping 20011  is confirmed. The total number of hotel rooms in Oslo is much lower than that in most European capitals and this soon becomes problematic for all 15 000 visitors attending the event. Oslo even with its related suburbs and close-by towns is too small to accommodate everyone; during Nor Shipping 2009 all hotels, guesthouses and private apartments were sold out within 100 km from the fairgrounds. In spring 2011 the prices are expected to rise and double. Securing accommodation in advance will allow you to choose a strategic position close to the rail line as a trip from the city centre of Oslo to the exhibition grounds takes only about 15-20 minutes. The most important factor is to have a booking before the beginning of year 2011 in order to guarantee lodging within reasonable travelling distance from Lillestrom.
