The ‘Restart Edition’ of the baby and toddler trade show takes place from 9-11 September 2021 in Cologne.
Preparations for what’s being referred to as the ‘restart edition’ of baby and toddler trade fair, Kind + Jugend 2021 are significantly ramping up as its September date nears.
Nearly 180 companies from around 20 countries will be at the show’s comeback edition in Cologne, Germany from 9-11 September.
“It is important that we lead the way for the industry,” commented Oliver Frese, chief operating officer of Koelnmesse. “The restart marks the beginning we are all waiting for. Thanks to our #B-SAFE4business hygiene and safety concept, in accordance with the current coronavirus protection ordinance, the focused event of 2021 is an example of how trade fairs can look and function.”
A range of experts will be presenting a number of key trending topics and products in the industry during the event. For example companies such as Lässig, Thule, Engel, Sterntaler and Thermobaby will be highlighting sustainable products and concepts.
In addition, the Trend Forum will also look to provide insights into trends and ideas.
People will also be able to take part in the event via the Kind + Jugend @ home digital platform which will show exhibitor information and presentations.
The restart edition of Kind + Jugend 2021 will be implemented in hall 10.2 in a way that facilitates easy compliance with distancing and other hygiene rules. With the help of an app, visitors will also be able to avoid crowds and have a comfortable visit all the way from the car park to the fair grounds. Admission tickets for visitors and the media will be available exclusively online. This also applies to exhibitors and all service providers.
Beginning with the trade fair season in autumn, admission to the trade fair grounds will only be granted to those who have been fully vaccinated, have recovered from COVID-19 in the last six months or have a current, negative test result.
Companies which are not be able to attend the trade fair this year will still have the opportunity to participate with their own stand through the Remote Booth Plus programme.
