PROGRAMME

Talks, guided tours, expertise

– all on the X54 programme

In a harmoniously designed space on the upper floor, the Community Lounge and DESIGN DISCOVERIES together provide a meeting point for those in search of discussion and inspiration. On the Saturday and Sunday, Lounge Talks will take place there each day, moderated by Mirjam Smend of Greenstyle and Fashion Changers, Vreni Jäckle. The guest speakers will also be available for questions in the Lounge afterwards.

On Monday, the specialist panel “Toolbox for retailers: Let’s talk about sales, staff, customer loyalty and other hot issues” in cooperation with the Hesse Retail Association will provide specific content from experts from different contexts.

In addition, there will once again be a theme-based guided tour of the trade fair on Sunday.

▶️ For now, we are expecting to hold most talks and the tour in German, but if there is an interested English speaking audience, please don’t hesitate to come forward and ask for a change of language. Thank you!

We have made all talks from INNATEX 52 onwards available as a podcast episode for you to listen to:
