Euroshop returns to Düsseldorf later from 16-20 February 2014 and this year’s offering is set to be another whopper. With more than 2,000 exhibitors occupying 16 halls, and an expected visitor footfall in excess of 100,000, it is no surprise to learn that Euroshop is the largest capital goods trade fair for the retail trade.

And with companies exhibiting from all over of the world - 53 countries if 2011 figures are anything to go by - Euroshop is certainly one of the places to seek out future trends, visions and influences from the world's retail design experts.

Organisers of the fair have identified a 'booming area' of retail lighting and will feature, for the first time, a Lighting Designer's Zone dedicated to the work of lighting designers and planners.

With Euroshop divided into four areas (EuroConcept, EuroSales, EuroCIS and EuroExpo) showcasing everything from store design to refrigeration, and from flooring to marketing, regular Euroshop visitors will be pleased to learn about the return of the multiple forums set to take place - including one dedicated to architecture and design.

Moreover, Euroshop will be held in parallel with the Retail Design Conference, which will include two award ceremonies: the EuroShop Retail Design Award and the Retail Technology Awards Europe (RETA).

For more information on the event, including for tickets, travel and accommodation, visit the Euroshop website.
