BRICODAY CONGRESS 2018
The edition that ended on September 20 at Mi.Co. Milan was of great satisfaction for exhibitors, visitors and organizers of Bricoday Expo&Forum, thanks to the strong growth of all indicators compared to the 2017 edition.
Overall, in 2018 Bricoday registered 5.520 accesses (+23% compared to 2017), of which 4.710 unique users, with a significant increase in the number of distribution operators.
As for the exhibition, this edition was the richest ever with 260 exhibitors (+35% compared to 2017), which occupied the entire Mi.Co. South pavilion. Among these, foreign exhibitors, especially from France, showed a strong increase.
The presence of leading figures, the new formula of interviews, the two well-balanced parts between market data and speeches of distribution operators, have made the 2018 conference a great success. There was a good turnout in the second morning (+15%), but it was the first morning that saw the inaugural congress hall packed (+30%).
The videos of the speeches are available in the ‘congress’ section.
THE LOCATION
Bricoday’s exhibition area occupies an entire Mi.Co. Milano Congressi pavilion. 260 exhibitors took their place on a total area of 6,000 m2, representing every possible “world” of DIY business.
The pre-built booths have compact size – from 7.50 to 30 m2 – optimizing the visiting time and promoting contacts with various leader companies.
Be an exhibitor at Bricoday is an intelligent way to make a fair: the companies as well as the visitors can focus on their own business only, in an operational pavilion built to ensure a consistent flow of visitors.
Mi.Co Milano Congressi is also a prestigious location, well connected to main motorway junctions, railway stations and airports to ensure an easy access to Italian and international visitors.
THE CONGRESS
The heart of Bricoday is its congress, an appointment not to be missed for every professional operator from the DIY and gardening business. Our top speakers are research institutes, leading exponents of the academic world, prominent figures of DIY Specialized Retailers and producing companies. Every year, Bricoday gives the opportunity to display the market data, to identify future scenarios, to highlight threads and issues linked to the Specialized Retailers’ world, to be informed about the most interesting case histories.
The 2018 edition agenda has been rich, both in speeches’ quality and quantity, developed in a two-mornings session.
In the Bricoday congress room (700 seats) debated 10 important speakers.
HARDWARE FORUM
Along with the Bricoday edition, it is held Hardware Forum – La Fiera della Ferramenta – same day, different pavilion –. After its successful debut in 2015, it seems to be the key venue for hardware, tools and technical equipment producers and retailers. The congress is held next to a wide exposition area: highly-qualified speakers debate on strong and current issues concerning the varied world of hardware stores. A training opportunity and a display to promote new items and the latest innovations in the field.
Hardware Forum – La Fiera della Ferramenta is powered by Koelnmesse – a leading hardware fair organization holding international expositions such as Eisenwarenmesse Cologne and CIHS Shangai – in collaboration with Epe Edizioni, organizer of Bricoday.
