INDX, the trade show experience curated by Associated Independent Stores (AIS), has outlined a 2025 calendar packed with buying-focused events, a fresh market approach, a revamped look and feel and a new website.
Mirroring the success of the INDX National Flooring Show, several events will claim 'National' titles from next year, while INDX Homewares will become INDX Home, and INDX Beds & Bedroom now INDX Beds. INDX Furniture will remain unchanged.
Jane Bartlett, director of Events at AIS and Cranmore Park, says: “INDX shows will continue to expand, adapt and diversify to provide retailers with the tools, knowledge, and connections necessary to succeed in an ever-changing marketplace.
“Every INDX show is a powerhouse for business and order writing, but certain events within our portfolio have undeniably captured the retail industry’s attention on a national scale. Recognising the unparalleled impact of these shows, we've made strategic decisions to elevate their market positions for 2025.
"These strategic changes will be amplified by a completely revamped look and feel that will elevate the entire INDX experience. This week, INDX redefined its online presence with a stunning new website – cue a bold new look, a streamlined user interface, and content that pops."
George Kelly, director of marketing at AIS, adds: “INDX is a retail force to be reckoned with, and our confident new brand identity signals a higher level of ambition. By seamlessly blending our digital world with the on-site experience at Cranmore Park, we aim to create a unified and memorable journey for our visitors and exhibitors, and we look forward to welcoming everyone to Cranmore Park for our 2025 shows”.
The venue itself is also set for a transformation. Following the recent opening of The Loft, the venue’s contemporary eatery, hospitality and networking space, Cranmore Park will be introducing a fully sustainable modular exhibition stand system for 2025. This innovative shell scheme is designed to accommodate any vision, says AIS, "empowering exhibitors to create stunning, bespoke displays, and elevating the INDX experience to new heights".
Online registration is now open for INDX Furniture (17-20th January 2025), INDX Home (18-19th February), INDX Beds (29-30th April) and the INDX National Flooring Show (13-14th May).
