Industry customers discover the diversity of promotional products
In 2017, advertising agencies and marketing decision-makers from industry companies were able for the first time to get up-close-and-personal with the diversity of promotional products. The Industry Customer Day will be held again in 2018. On 11 January, industry customers holding an invitation from their PSI promotional products consultant can visit the show – either alone or accompanied by their consultant. Individual consultation counters and the Industry Customer Lounge in Hall 10 will provide ample opportunity to retreat for discussions.
Premiere: Merchandising & Licensing Lounge
Merchandising and licensing are becoming increasingly significant topics in the promotional products industry. From now on, the new PSI Merchandising and Licensing Lounge in Hall 9 will reflect the entire value chain of key merchandising and licensing processes. The lounge will serve as a venue for product presentations and best practice demonstrations while also offering lots of space to network.
Product Preview Event to kick off show
Following the successful debut in 2017, PSI distributors from European countries other than Germany can once again participate in the second Product Preview Event at the upcoming PSI. On 8 January – a day before the start of the trade show – up to 20 selected exhibitors from various segments will present their product innovations. At previously arranged meetings and subsequent networking sessions, exhibitors and participants alike will be able to purposefully exchange ideas and connect with each other.
