After a successful transition phase, the consumer goods trade fairs Christmasworld and Creativeworld will be under new management. Stefan Schopp took over from Eva Olbrich, who retired at the end of July, on 1 August 2024.
Schopp has been in the trade fair business for over ten years. Before joining Messe Frankfurt as Sales Manager of Christmasworld in 2018, the business graduate worked in sales at Messe Stuttgart. In addition to the new management, the consumer goods trade fairs are also to receive a tailwind for the coming order season through a reorganisation of the teams.
Ambiente, Christmasworld and Creativeworld will continue to take place at the same time at the Frankfurt exhibition centre. However, they will be moved to the beginning of February "to ensure that the trade fair dates are aligned", explain the organisers. Ambiente and Christmasworld will run from 7 to 11 February 2025, while Creativeworld will take place from 7 to 10 February 2025.
