Work is already under way on the next edition of the pet industry trade show that is held once in two years in Europe. This year’s event in May in Bologna is shaping up to be very promising indeed.
New exhibiting space
The 2017 edition of Zoomark International was extremely successful, with a 17% increase in exhibitors and a 25% increase in buyers. To continue to offer the highest level of service to pet industry manufacturers and professionals from Italy and the rest of the world, and to respond to the growing number of applications from companies globally, Zoomark International 2019 will feature new halls and extended exhibiting space. The event will now cover a surface area of more than 53,000 sqm, offering greater capacity and a more streamlined visitor experience. It will occupy not only hall 28 but also the brand new halls 29 and 30.
New show dates
Responding to demand from both exhibitors and visitors, Zoomark International 2019 will run from Monday 6 May to Thursday 9 May. As it will no longer be held at the weekend, both Italian and international professionals will be able to organise their visits on days they prefer. At the same time, distributing visitor numbers more evenly over the four days will make it a better exhibition experience for all.
More business opportunities
The biennial show is an established success on the industry calendar – with a steady increase in surface area and the numbers of exhibitors and visitors. Companies and buyers from outside the country have also increased in number, proof of the Italian event’s great appeal as the pet industry’s best and most important showcase. At the 2017 edition, Zoomark International welcomed 735 exhibitors (65% of them from 42 countries other than Italy) and over 27,000 professional visitors (30% from 100 countries outside Italy).
The 2019 event is expected to be even bigger, aiming to help exhibitors create and develop new business opportunities on the international market. In 2016, Zoomark International embarked on a comprehensive programme of activities abroad to promote the best of the Italian pet industry. As part of this, they organised Made in Italy halls at leading international trade shows, allowing delegations from Italian companies to present their products to the global market.
