Update
Who’s Next 2026 will return as a physical event in its usual January slot. Organisers have already announced the dates for the fair’s latest edition. Designers and buyers can look forward to an intense event schedule between the 17th and 19th of January 2026.
Preface
Who’s Next is the fashion industry’s semi-annual trade show. It offers an encompassing and thorough review of the upcoming fashion season's up-to-the-minute trends. It accomplishes the task by showcasing the latest collections and inspirational sources for segments, such as leather products, purses, shoes, travelling apparel, accessories, and lifestyle products. This allows a diverse range of industry specialists to remain up-to-date on the newest design ideas, colour palettes and material solutions. As a result, the event’s editions, which are held once in winter and once in autumn, frequently receive over 46 000 attendants ranging from international buyers to trendsetters and journalists. Such participants travel from more than 100 nations and represent continents such as Asia, the Americas, and Europe. Apart from learning about the forthcoming season’s fashion styles, attendants can also learn about new challenges during the event’s hosting at the Paris Expo Port de Versailles.
About Who’s Next
The Who’s Next event features a variety of sub-events. Among them are networking, conferences and competitions, such as the BabyBrand Competition. The participant list features diverse leading enterprises from the leather products, fabrics, clothing, footwear, and fashion industries. Examples include Geox, Gemini, and MCM.

Dear Tom,
As I did not hear anything about the hotel and the trip, I think our travelers were okay and everything was fine.
Thank you for your help with everything.
Mr. David Gillespie
The Novotel was a comfortable, clean, modern and efficient location for attending the Ligna show.
Depending on the group attending the Ligna show, another option would be Hannover Old Town which is a short walk further and adds a historic German/European experience. Most evenings we walked to this area for dinner from the Novotel.
Regards,
Dave

Hello George,
The rooms are comfortable, quiet and very clean. Excellent breakfast with a wide choiche and alternatives available. Corridors need refurbishing as the carpeting is really worn out, as well as room doors. Hotel restaurant closed on sunday but other restaurants are available at walking distance. Taxis to Prowein quite expensive. If traffic is smooth, it takes approx 20 minutes to get to the Exhibition ground.

Michelle made my job so much easier with her quick responses, patience and professionalism. I was sending 3 people to Anuga at the last minute and her help in finding lodging at a reasonable price, good location and quality hotel was outstanding. You have a winner with Michelle! She's definitely management material.
