Who’s Next 2025 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 6th and 8th of September 2025.
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.
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 Ben,
I want to share my feedback regarding my recent stay at Jugendherberge City-Hostel Koln-Riehl. I had a good experience, but a few points are worth mentioning.
Firstly, I commend the hostel's location, which is conveniently situated near the trade fair. This was one of the hostel's significant strengths.
However, I noticed that the rooms, although clean, had a rather plain and not very cosy ambience.
Thank you again, and I wish you continued success in future development.
Dear Tom,
I hope you’re doing well!
The Nuremberg Toy Fair / Spielwarenmesse 2025 went very well, and everything worked perfectly. Thank you for your support in organizing our trip!
We would appreciate receiving offers for the next edition of the fair.
Please provide offers for the same hotel as this year, as well as alternative options in the surrounding area within a similar price range.
Looking forward to your offers!
Best regards,
Sebastian

Good morning,
our team spent one week in Hotel Manin in Milan for Eicma 2015. Service, rooms, assistance really outstanding. Many compliment to Go Fair to meet our several request always on time - great organization and staff. Hotel Manin and Go fair will be the reference for next year.
Thank you!
Dear Brian,
Thank you for all your help in arranging accommodation for our Travel Award Winners. It was very well organised by you even when additional night's accommodation was requested. All of the guests were happy with the hotel and had no complaints.
We would be looking to book again with you in the future!
Many thanks for handling the reservation of the hotel so professionally. Its interesting to note that when Interschutz 2021 was cancelled the hotel, and yourselves, did not hesitate to carry the booking over to 2022 at the same cost. The hotel, although a little out of Hannover (this was as per choice) was excellent. The food was excellent and the rooms larger than normal, and well appointed. My stay was greatly enjoyed.
Dear Ben,
The fair was very successful and I really liked the hotel where I stayed with my colleague. It was perfect, right next to the subway and only 15 minutes away from the book fair.
I will use your services again for sure, thank you for making the experience so enjoyable.
Best regards,
Cristina

Hi Megan and Ben,
I would like to thank you for our booking and making our stay super amazing at Mitico! They are so very helpful, made everything so comfortable for us and most certainly you can recommend this hotel to other wheelchair users! We made some recommendations to a lady there, I think it may have been Laura about the bathroom which could use a little improving.
Once again, thank you for you the help offered regarding everything!
For next year I would like to start sourcing for 5 people (1 wheelchair user) as this year because the bookings were so late, we were all around Bologna and the taxi fairs were insane.
Something for us to keep in mind!

Dear Tom,
Hope you are well.
I wanted to say thank you for your helps for the hotel reservation during A+A 2023.
I would like to know, if you can do any price offer to us for 2025, if we use again your agency.
We are very satisfied with your service, but as we are hiring more people and getting bigger group, if we can reduce the cost per night, it would be grateful.
I look forward to hearing from you.
