From 16 to 20 February EuroShop will bring together 2,300 exhibitors from over 60 countries with 114,000 trade visitors expected from throughout the world in Düsseldorf. EuroShop’s eight Experience Dimensions cover retailers’ complete investment needs, on the one hand, and provide inspirations galore and concrete answers to decisive questions that all retailers wanting to remain competitive have to ask themselves.
What functions do shops or stores have to perform today? Serve as experience places and points of identification? Feel-good locations? A Third Place? Pop-up marketplaces? What do they have to look or feel like? Creative and hands-on answers come care of the Shop Fitting & Store Design Dimension.
The Retail Technology Dimension presents all things surprising, enthusing, stimulating and taking you to the next level. Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, Artificial Intelligence, Internet-of-Things, Smart Store, Customer Engagement, Mobile Payment and Cloud-based Services are the dominating themes in this Dimension.
Retail Marketing is the point of interest for “digital creatives”. Customer engagement & experience, brand experiences in physical and digital stores, personalisation via mobile devices, artificial intelligence, digital signage. The Retail Marketing Dimension at EuroShop 2020 awaits trade visitors with the complete spectrum of ever more in-depth and digital shopper interaction.
The lighting community gets together at EuroShop, too. Light plays a pivotal role when experience and staging, fascination and atmosphere come into play. Its versatile technical applications ranging from smart lighting to the IoT in conjunction with such ecological aspects as sustainability and efficiency will be on show at the Lighting Dimension.
Storytelling – this is what Visual Merchandising is all about – both as an analogue experience space and as a digital platform. Eurohop’s Dimension of the same name shows how to perfectly stage them, fascinate and wow shoppers with either walk-in stores or augmented reality, as pop-up or digital stores.
More and more supermarkets and also fashion stores draw their shoppers in with food services. This is why catering in retail is a “hot ticket” and will be given its own Food Service Equipment Dimension for the first time at EuroShop 2020. Here the menu will feature everything from fast food to Michelin star cuisine.
In the Refrigeration & Energy Management Dimension what belongs together will finally grow together: ecology and economy. Digital transformation and building automation, IoT and AI, efficiency and staging – all of this is instrumental to climate-neutral smart stores and will therefore be featured at EuroShop.
Trade fairs and events on the road to digitalisation and festivalisation – this will be centre stage at EuroShop’s Expo & Event Dimension, which is the world’s biggest sector-specific get-together for the live communication community. Cross-media connections, complex experience scenarios, exhilarating performance or dynamic communication will be the dominating themes.
