Fira Barcelona's Gran Via venue

Although Alimentaria in itself is a compendium of new products, Innoval is the place at the show to find the latest launches in the food industry and serves as a barometer of trends.
Granja Campomayor and its egg cooked at low temperature were the big winners of Innoval Awards at Alimentaria 2018. It is an egg already cooked inside its own shell that is thermally regenerated when boiled or baked. And this achieves a solidified egg white, with a creamy look and a liquid and creamy yolk. On cutting the egg, the yolk oozes out slowly, providing it with an inimitable flavour and texture. It is a very healthy, natural egg, as it is cooked with no oils.

Decorex International introduced Design Encounter last year, a cutting-edge platform for the interior design industry to showcase products in a unique and innovative hybrid A/R experience.

Design Encounter was a series of interconnecting physical roomsets, a collaboration with a famed architect and students from Central St Martins, London. The installation took visitors through the interconnected rooms, highlighting products in each of them from over 200 suppliers. The experience was enhanced by an app using augmented reality which was available to download pre-show. By placing the phone camera directly in front of the physical products, visitors were able to access extra information on the designers, products and suppliers, while ‘liking’ them allowed them to log their preferences and access a list of their preferred products post-show. The introduction of augmented reality was met with success and will be developed further for this show and others, particularly as we move into a post-COVID era.

The old product, CL17, could take up to one hour to change and our fastest time on the new CL17sc was 15 seconds! Each person who participated received a water bottle and the individual who won the overall leadership board one a CL17sc. It was incredibly fun to watch people change out the tubing and come back again and again to try for a faster time. It also helped to support initial interest in the new product and created ~50 leads.

Montecolino has developed a carpet management system for Fiera Milano where they have obtained the certificate of 100% recyclability of their products. After the exhibition or the event, the products are turned into new plastic products. Stop to the dumps for a sustainable future in the fair sector, following the concept of circular economy as defined by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.
For this project Montecolino has developed a carpet management system for Fiera Milano. At the show ground are over 1,5 million m2 of carpet installed per year. The developed system allows to install over 80.000 m2 and the removal of over 120.000 m2 in a working-night. The activity of carpet removal begins immediately after the end of the show before the stand builders begin to dismantle the booths. The carpet is picked up taking care to turn it upside-down to remove foreign matters. The carpet is folded up and grouped in specific points of the halls. The delivery to the pressing center takes place in the same night of the show ending. The material is compacted before the delivery to the recycling facilities in order to reduce freight cost. The collected material is compacted for
reducing the volume of transport and it is worked in a ray of 100 kms by the fair site to be turned into PP granulate that will be transferred to the plastic industry as raw material.

Despite the many potential difficulties that can arise in the course of preparing and realising the fairs and exhibitions that are your specific competence, these events can create a network of human relations that can endure well beyond the event itself.

TISE Gives Back!
The International Surface Event
Informa Markets

The International Surface Event (TISE) has served over 30 years, providing endless opportunities for growth and expansion for the flooring, stone and tile community.

Over the past ten years, TISE has organized and provided over $300K to charitable organizations. One such organization is the Floor Covering Industry Foundation (FCIF), an organization whose mission is to get families back on their feet when battling catastrophic injuries, severe disabilities, or other life-altering medical crises. TISE hosts the FCIF advisory board annually at the event.

TISE also serves as an anchor during industry crisis. Starting in 2016, the industry began to feel the effects of a flooring professional shortage, selling more products than could be professionally installed. TISE hosted the first ever Installation Summit in 2016, supported an Installer Crisis Industry Research Study, and brought back the annual National Installer of the Year Competition. In addition, TISE has helped produce a standalone event called Build My Future: Flooring Edition, an event introducing high school students to careers as installers in the surface industry.

TISE also works each year to give valuable resources to organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, A New Day, and Opportunity Village, right off of the show floor. A collaborative effort between the event service provider, the event exhibitors, and the TISE event staff has ended in donations of 8 to 10 large box trucks each year of the newest and most beautiful flooring, stone, and tile products going to people in need for their homes.

While these are not all of the incredible opportunities that The International Surface Event has had to give back and serve the community, these examples do provide a snapshot of the ability of events to help businesses in the industry, while making a long-lasting impact on the community!
