Exhibitor numbers are likely to be just slightly lower at the upcoming edition of GDS, which run September 11-13 in Düsseldorf, Germany.

“We have been working very hard on this over the past few months,” says GDS director, Kirstin Deutelmoser, at a press conference ahead of the event. “In view of the general economic climate the 7% drop in exhibitors, or 50 exhibiting firms, is also very moderate. And it is striking that this development primarily concerns the mid market segment. Strong premium and quality brands plus many new collections are continuing to focus on GDS for their sales and communication.”
