EDANA and Palexpo have announced that the INDEX exhibition will continue to be held every three years.
In times of uncertainty and questioning for the future of industry events, the Board of EDANA and management of Palexpo reiterate their vision and announcements for INDEX exhibitions in 2023 and beyond. As already announced, INDEX23 will take place from April 18-21, 2023, in Geneva.
“Results of surveys among members of EDANA and INDEX20 exhibitors, after the outstanding show last October, have clearly shown a strong preference of our customers for the continuation of our triennial frequency,” says Pierre Wiertz, general manager of EDANA.
“We have heard our key stakeholders’ voice, and the leading position of INDEX among global nonwovens exhibitions gives us full trust in the industry’s favorable response to both INDEX23 and INDEX26,” says Michael Staal Axelsen (CEO at Fibertex Personal Care), chair of the EDANA Board.
Exact dates for the 2026 edition will be announced later, but Palexpo and EDANA are confident in the traditional positioning of the exhibition in the spring.
Magali Fakhry, exhibition director at Palexpo, concludes: “It is always comforting to see the drive from past exhibitors to re-book their stand as early as possible for the next edition three years ahead, an interval which of course this time, under the circumstances, is shorter for the 2023 edition. The three year-cycle provides an ideal frequency to keep the momentum and eagerness for visitors and exhibitors alike to live the unique INDEX experience, reconnect with their business contacts and rediscover Geneva’s scenery again. We are looking forward to welcoming them again in April 2023 and early spring 2026.”
