The ceramic tile and bathroom fair, set to take place from 13^th to 17 June at Feria Valencia, is assured of healthy attendance by entire Spanish purchasing sector and main distributors in overseas markets

Valencia’s robust positioning as a tourist destination and its status this year as World Design Capital and European Capital of Intelligent Tourism have boosted the event’s appeal

Valencia, 10^th February 2022.– The ceramic tile and bathroom industry’s purchasing power has given its backing to Cevisama 2022 being held in June. There are still four months to go before the event – scheduled to run from 13^th to 17^th June at Feria Valencia – takes place and the leading distributors in the domestic market have already confirmed they will be attending, as have over 230 large ceramic tile and bathroom groups in overseas markets. The figure far exceeds the total number of distributors invited to the last edition of the fair, held in February 2020, as part of the “Cevisama Business Club” programme.

These companies include, notably, 20 buying groups in the United States, a market in which the fair is rolling out an intense recruitment campaign. Interest has surged in other priority markets too, such as Canada, Latin America and northern Europe. As to Cevisama’s traditional markets, 40 German, 25 Italian and 15 French distributors have confirmed they will be attending.

These numbers will grow over the coming weeks as a thanks to the work Cevisama is undertaking in partnership with the Ministry of Economy, through IVACE Internacional, to recruit buyers and specifiers from the United Kingdom, which is Cevisama’s guest country this year.

British distributors will thus be in the spotlight in the Ivace Awards for Tile of Spain Promotion, which will celebrate ten British importers. The UK is Tile of Spain’s third largest export market.

These figures validate the decision to re-schedule the industry’s foremost event for June, a move that, according to Cevisama’s director, Carmen Álvarez, was designed to facilitate the fair “being successful in terms of financial profitability for our customers and, of course, offering the best possible conditions as regards health and safety”.

Valencia: hot destination

As well as the extensive rollcall of exhibitors and the assured presence of Spanish and international purchasing power, Cevisama 2022 will also benefit from a very special asset: the city of Valencia.

Valencia has become one of Europe’s main tourist destinations and as well as being World Design Capital 2022 is also European Capital of Intelligent Tourism. Everyone attending Cevisama will have the opportunity to enjoy not just the city’s glorious weather, but also a cultural, gastronomic and leisure offering that will help make a visit to Cevisama an unforgettable experience

Set to take place from 29^th March to 1^st April, the fair has 512 companies and brands signed up to take part, including 396 direct exhibitors from 19 countries.

A survey of the FIMMA – Maderalia database reveals that 87% of professionals surveyed will be visiting the biennial fair being held at feria Valencia in March and that their “intention is to look for new suppliers”.

Valencia, 8th February 2022.- FIMMA – Maderalia confirms high hopes have come true. With a little under two months to go before it opens, the organisers of specialist biennial fair for materials and technology for the wood and furniture-making industry have confirmed the showcase will comprise 356 direct exhibitors, with 512 companies or brands represented, as can be seen on the event’s official website.

These impressive numbers will translate into an exhibition covering more than 50,000 square metres of Feria Valencia. FIMMA – Maderalia is set to be the first major fair for the industry to take place in Europe this year following the leading European fairs – mostly German – progressively cancelling or delaying their events at the beginning of the year.

It should also be borne in mind that the last edition of FIMMA – Maderalia was four years ago (2018) and that, post-pandemic, the industry is very much looking forward to this edition.

FIMMA – Maderalia has as a result strengthened its marketing over the last few weeks, the aim being to offer the best possible showcase to a sector that received a boost during the two years of the pandemic from the boom in renovation and refurbishment. Feria Valencia carried out a survey over the last three weeks, through its own databases of industry professionals, to gain a first-hand insight into their concerns and create the best possible fair.

The results have strengthened FIMMA – Maderalia’s positioning and highlighted the “need” for an event like Feria Valencia’s biennial exhibition. The fair’s director, Miguel Bixquert, says that “We carried out a survey of more than 500 professionals and 87% of them said they have confirmed they will be visiting the fair. we also took the opportunity to enquire about thecurrent state of the industry and amongst the various motives for visiting FIMMA – Maderalia, almost all respondents highlighted having had problems with their usual suppliers over the last two years so now need to see what other options the market can offer them”.

This was with reference to furniture manufacturers, renovations contractors, carpentry firms, storage facilities, kitchen builders and flooring installers, who “in many cases worked non-stop throughout the pandemic and were not sufficiently acknowledged by their suppliers. Also, the restrictions on mobility over these last two years have revived the need to update content, catalogues and products. And the best forum for these operators to do so is FIMMA – Maderalia”.

In Bixquert’s opinion, “times are great for the sector. It has a huge amount of work but, at the same time, there are uncertainties such as rising costs, scarcity of raw materials and supply issues. We are aware of all this, and that is why this March we will be showcasing the most extensive and varied offering on the market”.

Free tickets from exhibitors

FIMMA – Maderalia is putting the finishing touches to a fair that, for the first time, is bringing its trade ticket register into line with the policies of the leading European trade fairs, meaning professionals will be able to obtain free tickets through the invitations that will be sent out by the exhibitors at this edition of FIMMA – Maderalia.

Tickets will also be available to purchase at the venue, priced at 20 € for one day and 40 € for the four days of the fair and may be purchased in advance through the FIMMA – Maderalia website at a 50% discount.

According to the fair’s director,“The move means we are bringing the fair into line with the European standard, which places a value on visiting fairs whilst seeking to avoid what many refer to as ‘aisle exhibitors’ who constitute unfair competition for genuine exhibitors – in this instance those that have invested in FIMMA – Maderalia 2022”.

The fifth edition of the international fair for the functional ingredients, novel foods and end products industry, is now due to take place on 15^th and 16^th June, following a schedule reset by Barcelona’s International Convention Centre.

Initially planned for February and subsequently moved to October, the fair will now definitely be taking place in June to optimize business opportunities and ensure the event is held in an environment that is completely safe for exhibitors and visitors.

Valencia, 12^th January 2022.- Nutraceuticals Europe – Summit & Expo 2022 is now set to take place from 15^th to 16^th this coming June, after the Barcelona International Convention Centre, which is to host the foremost international fair for the functional ingredients, novel foods and end products industry, re-set its schedule of events.

The adverse way in which the pandemic is evolving and the need to ensure that business can be done in a space that is entirely safe for exhibitors and visitors alike, prompted the move to re-schedule the dates for Nutraceuticals Europe – Summit & Expo 2022, which had originally been due to take place in February.

Initially the event moved to October, as advised in recent communications. However, due to the Barcelona International Convention Centre’s own schedule of events and following consultations with the industry itself, it has been decided that the fair should go ahead in the first half of the year, specifically on 15^th and 16^th June.

With definitive dates now set, the fair is doubling up on its marketing, with a view to growing and improving its offering and will also be boosting its promotion amongst the various sectors of the industry. Nutraceuticals Europe – Summit & Expo 2022, has already received confirmations from leading Spanish and international operators in the industry that they will be taking part.

València, 22 December 2021 – Cevisama, the international ceramics and bathroom equipment trade fair organised by Feria Valencia, will hold its next edition from 13 to 17 June 2022. This was approved at its meeting this morning by the event’s organising committee after analysing the current context, marked by the negative evolution of the pandemic throughout the world.

Thus, despite the fact that the marketing of the event has been well received by exhibitors and large firms in the sector have confirmed their presence, the event initially scheduled for 7 to 11 February has been postponed until next spring.

“Our aim is for Cevisama to run successfully in terms of economic profitability for our clients and, of course, with the best possible health and safety guarantees. At the moment, this does not seem feasible,” stresses Carmen Álvarez, Cevisama’s director.

“We think that the scenario will be clearer in a few months’ time, with more favourable weather, international vaccination plans already completed and with more travel facilities for international visitors; that is why we are going to double our efforts so that from 13 to 17 June all professionals can celebrate the sector’s great reunion at Feria Valencia”, she assures.

Cevisama 2022 will bring together leading brands from the ceramics, bathroom and natural stone sectors, and will feature novelties such as “Cevisama Tech”, an exclusive area that will showcase the latest solutions in innovation and technology applied to the ceramics industry. In addition, the event will highlight Valencia’s designation as World Design Capital 2022 with the organisation of different cultural activities that will complement the commercial showcase.

In its last edition, held in 2020, Cevisama brought together more than 800 firms and brands and was visited by 90,000 professionals, of which more than 21,000 were foreign visitors.

• More than 200 companies have already booked their exhibition space at the next edition of the fair, scheduled to run from 29^th March to 1^st April 2922 at Feria Valencia.
• FIMMA – Maderalia is intensifying its marketing in response to strong demand from the various segments of the industry, which are keen to exhibit at an event that was not able to take place in 2020 because of the pandemic.
• The biennial show has also completely re-vamped its website and has digitalised the services it offers to exhibitors and visitors in order to make it easier for them to attend next year’s event at Feria Valencia. 

Valencia, 15^th November 2021.- FIMMA – Maderalia 2022 is forging ahead. With five months still to go before the fair takes place, from 29^th March to 1^st April at Feria Valencia, the International Fair for Materials, Technology and Components for Furniture Manufacturing, Interior Design and Contract Projects has already stimulated considerable interest amongst the industries concerned: there has already been strong demand for the exhibition spaces being marketed.

Indeed, as of today, FIMMA – Maderalia has confirmed that more than 200 companies have already booked themselves a space. These include both Spanish and international companies, that will be offering tools, machinery, technology, components, board, and coverings, amongst many other products. All are leading operators in their respective sectors and have welcomed the return of the industry’s foremost biennial fair following FIMMA – Maderalia’s cancellation in 2020 due to the pandemic.

The fair is now returning at full strength and against a backdrop of the health situation becoming normal again and international contacts being re-established, and in a broader context of strong growth in the industry fuelled by high demand for services such as refurbishment and fitting out of homes and other environments.

“Trade fairs are the image and reflection of an industry and are needed now more than ever. We all need to bring our information up to date and that is why the dual purpose of fairs – as sales instruments first and, secondly, as meeting points and sources of information – is set to become even more relevant,” explains Miguel Bixquert, director of the two events.

New features to mark the industry coming together again

Even though it will be taking place in the wake of previous success, Fimma – Maderalia 2022 will be refreshing certain elements of its content to ensure that, as a showcase, it reflects the industry’s current needs. It will therefore be featuring a stronger representation of the new materials and components that have appeared over the last few years and have become established as a key part of the industry’s development.

Technological advances will also be a major feature of FIMMA – Maderalia’s offering, both as regards to Industry 4.0 and the launch of different digital platforms that optimize and improve the efficiency of the furniture manufacturing and wood processing industries. Commitment to and investment in sustainability and the environment will as a result be one of the cornerstones of a significant part of the offering on show.

Commitment to digitalization

FIMMA – Maderalia has also taken a step forward in terms of digitalization by re-vamping its website. With its more modern, improved design, the content has been re-structured to make navigating the site easier and reflect users’ needs.

As a result, all services relating to booking stands, booking space and obtaining tickets are being digitalized, as are those that revolve around relations with customers, exhibitors and visitors. The fair has already been incorporated into Feria Valencia’s new Official APP, which is available on Android and iOS platforms and will provide all the information visitors may need to come to the fair.

The event will bring together leading brands from the entire ceramic tile and bathroom sector from 7^th to 11^th February 2022 at Feria Valencia.

Valencia, 26^th October 2021.- Cevisama is forging ahead with preparations for its next edition, which takes place from 7^th to 11^th February 2022 at Feria Valencia and is set to be the sector’s grand reunion post-pandemic. With the deadline for companies to re-book their spaces now up and with three months still to go until its doors open, the fair already has bookings for more than 90% of the space set aside for the event.

Leading brands from all the sectors of industry involved – manufacturers of ceramic tiles, frits, glazes and colours for ceramic manufacturing; tile-making machinery, bathroom furnishings and other associated sectors – have confirmed their commitment to Cevisama and underscored their confidence that the fair will be a key sales and promotion tool for making new contacts and gaining a competitive edge in the current, complex economic environment.

As Cevisama’s director, Carmen Álvarez, explains, “with the bookings that have been made to date, Cevisama already fills eight of Feria Valencia’s halls. In other words, it will be a wide-ranging, attractive showcase that will be appealing to the demand side of the business both domestically and internationally – everyone is keen to go to a trade fair and see each other”.

New features for 2022 include Cevisama boosting its position as the foremost event for the ceramic tile machinery sector, which will be hosted in a new location next to the hall dedicated to frits, glazes and colours for ceramic manufacturing. Together, the two areas will provide a comprehensive offering from the most cutting-edge providers of technology an innovation for the industry.

The fair will also feature a new style of staging, in line with its new corporate look, along with novel initiatives from Valencia World Design Capital. The initiatives are in fact set to be the first major mass attendance event of Valencia’s year as World Design Capital, 2022, and will not only give the fair greater visibility but also benefit from more institutional support.

Equally, Cevisama’s organisers are dedicating more resources and investment than ever to the buyer recruitment campaigns, to ensure that purchasing professionals from key markets attend the fair, especially those from the traditional markets of Europe and the United States, but also to boost attendance by professionals whose mobility has so far been restricted and who have therefore not attended major face-to-face international events – primarily buyers in countries such as the United Arab Emirates, north Africa, Russia and Latin America. The fair’s director has assured that “We are going to do the impossible so that all these buyers get to Cevisama and see all the new products being shown by our exhibitors”.

As for the domestic market, the fair has signed deals with the distributors’ association, Andimac, with various architects’ and interior designers’ associations and with Valencia World Design Capital, designed to ensure that Spanish buyers and product specifiers attend the fair.

For Cevisama president Manuel Rubert, “the priority for us will be to promote visiting the fair to distributors and architects in the domestic market, because buyers need to know what is going on in the industry, see the products and get to know what the trends are. Also, the restoration and refurbishment plan that has been launched in our country could substantially energize the market and Cevisama will be an obvious driver”.

The international trade fair for plants, flowers, landscaping, technology and garden DIY is “back in bloom” and is receiving major support from the entire industry and the public sector. With just one month to go, a large number of exhibitors have already signed up for Iberflora, which will lead to a powerful trade showcase that the 50th anniversary of the industry’s leading trade fair in Spain very much deserves.

Valencia, 13th September 2021 – Iberflora, the International Trade Fair for Plants, Flowers, Landscaping, Technology and Garden DIY, is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year with a very powerful, eagerly awaited event, which comes on the back of two of the best years the industry has had in recent times.

The event will be held on 5th, 6th and 7th October 2021 at Feria Valencia and will once again coincide with Ecofira, the international energy and environmental solutions trade fair. On its 50th birthday, Iberflora will be located in four pavilions, offering an extremely impressive trade showcase with the participation of companies from across the entire industry, such as technology, plants, florists, garden DIY, and a number of associations. In addition, this year, 40 new exhibitors have signed up, 19 of which are from abroad.

The fair also features an ambitious programme of talks on some of the industry’s hot topics such as biodiversity, green cities, technology, irrigation and water management, and urban gardens.

Thus, just a month before it is due to open its doors, Iberflora is meeting its targets and has the backing of the public sector and the industry, in the shape of companies and associations, as well as gardening and landscaping centres. It has once again become the fair everyone wants to attend and the place to meet and see each other again.

The lack of plants in the European market during the previous year confirms the need for and the participation of foreign buyers. Iberflora is therefore the ideal place to do business. In fact, pre-registration is already up by 23% compared to 2019, and international buyers have already confirmed their attendance. They will all be able to access the list of exhibitors and arrange meetings through the B2B agenda on the Feria Valencia website and app.

The appointment will be held in a 100% face-to-face format and together with the veteran plant and flower contest Iberflora, in a new call for the green sector and environmental solutions.

Ecofira will have a strong institutional presence in the hands of the Ministry of Agriculture and the public companies of the Valencia and Castelló consistories as well as the support of the Valencian Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FVMP).

Valencia, September 13, 2021.- Ecofira is back. After the environmental event held its last edition in 2019 and after a long period of hiatus forced by the pandemic, a new edition of Ecofira will open its doors at Feria Valencia on October 5. The International Fair of Environmental and Energy Solutions will celebrate its eighteenth edition in a 100% face-to-face format and in a safe space against Covid – 19 such as Feria Valencia.

In addition, the environmental event will repeat the call together with the Iberflora plant, flower, landscaping, technology and DIY garden fair, which this year will celebrate its 50th anniversary in style. It will be the second edition in which both calls are held jointly and consecutively to form a great event around the green sector with a high calling power among professional sectors.

Ecofira: the expected sectoral reunion

After a year without face-to-face fairs, Ecofira is preparing a great sectoral reunion around the latest innovations in waste management, ‘smart cities’, and urban equipment. In this sense, there are numerous companies in the sector that have joined as Ecofira exhibitors, among which the leading entities in waste management and treatment as well as environmental services and products firms stand out.

Ecofira also has strong institutional support, with the active presence in the contest of entities such as the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development, Climate Emergency and Ecological Transition of the Generalitat Valenciana, as well as different public waste management entities such as the EMTRE of the Valencia City Council or RECIPLASA of the Castellón town hall. In addition, Ecofira is also committed to bringing to the municipal world all the innovations and developments around the ‘smart city’ from the Valencian Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FVMP).

The objective is to cover from different ways the needs of a sector such as the sustainable management of municipalities and cities that in this atypical 2020 have barely had calls to update their knowledge and be fully up to date with the different innovations that have appeared in the market through of the main operators in the sector.

Tickets now available

Professionals from the environmental sector as well as municipal managers and technicians can now download their tickets for the next edition of Ecofira for free. They just have to register at this link and they will receive a pdf with a QR code to access the exhibition directly. It must be remembered that with the entrance to Ecofira, the visitor will also have access to the different pavilions where the Iberflora offer is located.

Cevisama has started to receive the first bookings for space at the 2022 edition of the fair, set to run from 7^th to 11th February 2022.  “We are detecting significant interest from the industry to get its most powerful event back. People want Cevisama”, explains the fair’s president, Manuel Rubert.

The fair is also launching its International Buyer Campaign, with a particular focus on the north American market, South America and the European Union.

Valencia, 26^rd July 2021.- Cevisama is already in train and the industry is responding enthusiastically. The International Fair for Ceramic Tiles, Bathroom Furnishings and Natural Stone recently opened for new and repeat exhibitors to book space at its 39^th edition, which will be taking place from 7^th to 11th February next February at Feria Valencia. Over the first few days the response has been “very positive”, according to the fair’s president, Manuel Rubert.

“After a whole year, we were detecting interest in the industry in coming to Cevisama” says Rubert, referring to businesses based in Castellón. As he explains, “although it is still early to talk percentages, the first commercial indicators are making us optimistic, as we are receiving a good number of applications to book space. Many of these are returning exhibitors but there is also a significant number of new companies expressing interest in not missing the opportunity to be part of the industry’s first major trade fair in 2022”.

In that regard, Rubert pointed out that the recent “Cevisama ON” series of online lectures had been a “good indicator”. The main trade associations had supported the lectures, which “made it clear that Cevisama needed to be brought back, tailored to the industry’s new needs, which is what we are going to do,” according to the fair’s president.

Ambitious international Campaign

In line with the positive note struck by the start of the sales effort, Cevisama has also launched it International Buyers Campaign, which this time round will focus on those markets that are most attractive to Cevisama’s exhibitors. It should be remembered that Cevisama draws buyers from more than 150 countries together every year, which makes it a very important global focal point for professionals in the industry.

Cevisama 2022 will centre part of its campaign on the United States of America, the European Union and, especially, on South America, which are particularly important markets in the current situation. According to the latest indicators, the United States became the leading destination for exports of Spanish ceramic over this last year, whilst the industry is seeing growing interest in Spanish ceramic in the South America over those from Asia.

A comprehensive offering from the industry

Even so, Cevisama is preparing an edition that is set to showcase the most extensive product offering ever. It will be re-joining the trade fair calendar in an even-numbered year and will therefore be including the full offering of sector-specific machinery and technology. The move will make the Feria Valencia event twice as attractive to international buyers this year as it will be the first on the global calendar of fairs to include machinery and technology.

The product offering at this next Cevisama is also set to be the most innovative and impressive, with all the latest innovations in ceramic floor and wall tiles, frits, glazes, and colours for ceramic on show along with bathroom equipment, ancillary sectors and natural stone forming the biggest and best offering for renovation and construction professionals and for specialists in fitting out communal and other facilities.

Safe space

It is expected that by the time Cevisama takes place, the way the health crisis itself will have evolved, the gradual resumption of a normal trade fair schedule around the world and greater international travel because of progress with vaccination programmes will mean that the Feria Valencia event will roll out normally, to all intents and purposes.

Feria Valencia has nonetheless implemented its Anti-Covid19 Protocol successfully for several face-to-face events. The measures put in place by the Protocol ensure a 100% safe environment for holding trade fairs.

The last edition of Cevisama, in February 2020, welcomed 92,435 visitors, including 21,364 foreign professionals from 156 countries.  The event showcased 847 exhibitors, located across 126,000 square metres of exhibition space. Cevisama receives practical support from partner organisations that include ASCER, ANFFECC, ASEBEC and ASEBAN.

The event will open its doors from Thursday to Saturday to facilitate the visit of professionals from the fashion, footwear, childcare and related products sector from all over the world.
Valencia, July 21, 2021.- BABYKID SPAIN + FIMI, the professional event that brings together in its showcase the largest commercial offer in the universe of childhood, children’s and teen fashion, footwear, childcare and related products, will open its doors at Feria Valencia from January 27 to 29.

The funeral sector contest (20-22 October) will have the support of IVACE to guarantee the presence of international buyers.

Valencia, July 19, 2021.- A more international fair. The next edition of Funermostra, the International Funeral Products and Services Fair, which will celebrate its next edition from October 20 to 22 at Feria Valencia, will strengthen its international profile with the presence of buyers from those markets that are most interesting for the exhibitors at the fair.

This is an initiative that seeks to make it easier for Funermostra exhibitors to interact with a selection of international buyers interested in establishing commercial ties with companies operating in the Spanish market.

The general director of internationalization, Mª Dolores Parra, has given the go-ahead to the initiative, highlighting to the representatives of Funermostra and Feria Valencia, the opportunity of holding this type of reverse missions since companies have access to interesting contacts in the Valencian Community, through Funermostra.

In this sense, it is expected that Valencia will be visited by European professionals from markets such as Germany, the Netherlands or the United Kingdom through the EFFS (European Federation of Funeral Services). In addition, Funermostra is also a meeting point and bridge with the Latin American market, from which various trade missions from countries such as Costa Rica and Mexico will proceed.

To this end, the leading event in our country for the funeral sector will have the support of the Department of Sustainable Economy of the Generalitat Valenciana, through IVACE, in a further boost for the internationalization of the Feria Valencia events and the sectors present in them.

An international contest

At Funermostra all the major companies and associations of the sector will be represented in Spain and in other countries, mainly Portugal, Italy or France, setting up a first-rate commercial showcase. There will also be signatures from the United Kingdom, Mexico, Argentina, Poland, Ukraine, Holland and Denmark for everything related to the funeral business.

Funermostra is preparing in collaboration with the National Association of Funeral Services, Panasef, a complete program of parallel activities that will take place both at the event and in the city of Valencia.

We must remember the international nature of a contest such as Funermostra, which has been held every two years for about 30 years and is recognized as an international fair by the Ministry of Industry, being a brand associated worldwide with the Spanish funeral sector.

The new event will be held together with the Valencia Automobile Fair from December 3 to 5, 2021

València, July 19, 2021.- The Feria Valencia classic vehicle fair is back. The Valencian fairgrounds will host the first edition of the València Motor Classic from December 3 to 5, the classic vehicle and collecting fair that will be held at the Valencia Fair together with the great call for the Automobile Fair.

With this, Feria Valencia recovers for Valencian fans an already classic appointment with the best of classic cars, motorcycles and vehicles. In fact, València Motor Classic gives continuity to different initiatives around this sector that have come together at the Valencian fairgrounds such as the historic Motor Época or the different editions of Retro Auto Moto, more recently and by the hand of an organizer external.

Now, in its own initiative and with the exclusive organization of Feria Valencia, València Motor Classic 2021 is born with the best expectations since it has been very well received by clubs, exhibiting companies and fans in general.

A wide offer around the classic vehicle

The aim is to create a large space with a multitude of content and activities around the classic vehicle. Thus, the València Motor Classic 2021 offer will bring together the exhibition and sale of classic cars and motorcycles, exhibitions of historic brands, ‘Automobilia’ (parts and accessories market), sector magazines and publications, collectible toys and miniatures, classic books and comics , turntables, players, minisystems and records …

In addition, València Motor Classic 2021 is also scheduled to host an ITV inspection area for classic vehicles as well as a parking lot for vehicles in this segment, which will enjoy a discount on entry for cars over 30 years old or V-H registration.

Same entrance of the Automobile Fair

The classic competition will be held together with the ‘big’ edition of the Valencia Automobile Fair and establishing logical synergies between two competitions focused on the motor world and shared by segments of the public. In fact, one of the great attractions for the exhibitor participating in València Motor Classic 2021 is the possibility of accessing the flow of more than 65,000 visitors and buyers who meet each year at the Feria Valencia motor show.

To facilitate this transfer of the public, Feria Valencia will establish a single ticket for both fairs, so that the buyer of the Valencia Automobile Fair will be able to directly enter the Valencia Motor Classic 2021 pavilion, and vice versa.

However, for differences between both contests, València Motor Classic will have a differentiated and exclusive pavilion, while the Valencia Automobile Fair is scheduled to take place in the usual spaces of the Benimàmet fairgrounds.

The Board approves the accounts with a positive ebitda of 195,948 euros

Feria Valencia held a total of 28 fairs and events in 2020, a year marked by the total paralysis of the fair activity worldwide caused by the Covid 19 pandemic.

Until the state of alarm was declared in Spain, Feria Valencia had held a total of eight of its own fairs, including the institution’s most important, Cevisama. Five external events were also held.

With the declaration of the state of alarm, the fair activity was specifically suspended by Spanish legislation. However, coinciding with the improvement in the health situation and when the possibility of holding fairs was opened, Feria Valencia was the first institution in Spain capable of launching two calls in July. They were the Occasion Selection Vehicle Fair and Magic Day by FIMI. Two fairs that largely succeeded in meeting the expectations of visitors and exhibitors.

The second edition will be held from March 4 to 6, 2022 at Feria Valencia with the concept “From the popular comic to the graphic novel” as the axis of content.

València, June 23, 2021.- The Valencia Comic Fair gets underway and has already started preparations for its next edition that will be held at Feria Valencia from March 4 to 6, 2022. The event faces its second edition after the success of its first call in which it reached the figure of more than 25,000 visitors and will do so under the backbone of ‘From the popular comic to the graphic novel’. As in the previous edition, the Show will warm up the engines in the previous weeks through a program of events that will take place in the city and that will culminate in Feria Valencia with its celebration.

Poster with Valencian talent

For this occasion, the organization has counted on the Valencian comic book author Cristina Durán to produce the poster. The illustrator and comic book author, in addition to having a recognizable artistic voice of indisputable quality, has received numerous recognitions throughout her career, such as the 2019 National Comic Award, an award received together with Miguel Ángel Giner and journalist Laura Ballester , for the graphic novel “El día 3”.

The Valencian comic will be the epicenter of the Show

On the other hand, if in its last edition the Show was articulated around the theme of the new paradigm of heroes and villains, this time the backbone concept will be “From the popular comic to the graphic novel”. In this way, Armando Nsue, Director of the Event and Daniel Tomás, Director of Contents propose an approach that allows a broad look at the essence of the comic, its history, its present and its future. An idea that opens up numerous possibilities of content, from the programming of activities, exhibitions, tributes to classic authors, to activities that focus on the future of comics through the digital format.

The Valencia Comic Fair has become, in just one edition, one of the comic events with the most projection today, thanks not only to the public success achieved in its first edition, but also to the respectful position that the event has reserved to the comic, in general, and Valencian, in particular. In this sense, the center of gravity of the Hall will continue to be the comic, especially the Valencian one, both in the content programming and in the pavilion itself, occupying the central space.

Institutions such as the Department of Cultural Action, the Department of Youth of the Valencia City Council, the Comic Chair of the University of Valencia, Associació Editors Pais Valenciá and the Association of Professionals of Valencian Illustration (APIV), have already confirmed their support and participation for this next call

For yet another year, the Comic Book Chair will lead the Valencia Comic Fair Awards 2020. The selection of works and the choice of winners will be carried out by an independent jury of experts that will be formed in September.

The 2-Wheel and VLC Bike’s events are back on the calendar in a 100% face-to-face format, coinciding with the Motorcycle World Championship and at a sweet moment for the two-wheel sector.

València, June 15, 2021.- The Valencia Motorcycle and Bike Show is back. Feria Valencia will host from November 12 to 14 a new edition of the 2 Wheels and VLC Bike’s contests after the impossibility that they could be held last year due to the restrictions of the pandemic.

Now, with a more stable outlook, the normalization of the fair calendar and, above all, the excellent situation that the two-wheel sector is going through, the Organized Committee of the Show – chaired by the commercial director of Ducati Motocorse, José Luis Terranegra – has given the green light to this year’s programming in response to the demand both from the sector itself and, above all, from the thousands of fans who attend the event each year.

Both appointments return in a 100% face-to-face format and in accordance with the regulations that are present next November. In this sense, it must be taken into account that Feria Valencia has a strict anti-Covid protocol that fully guarantees the safety of both exhibitors and visitors, as has been demonstrated in the face-to-face calls that have already been held at the fairgrounds of Benimàmet.

In addition, 2 Wheels and VLC Bike’s will repeat the formula for the success of their combination with the Motorcycle Grand Prix, the last round of the World Championship, which will be held at the Circuit de la Comunitat Valenciana de Cheste and which this year will also be held with the public in the steps.

New pavilions

One of the great novelties of the next edition of 2 Wheels and VLC Bike’s will be the celebration of both events in two pavilions of Level 2 of Feria Valencia after being held in the last editions in Hall 7. With this, the Motorcycle Show and the Bike guarantee maximum comfort and access for the visitor, who will access comfortably through the Feria Valencia Center Forum, and will also facilitate the availability of covered and free parking for all fans who come with their motorbike to the fair.

Excellent moment for the two-wheel market

The Show returns this year at an unbeatable situation for both the motorcycle and bike sectors. The new mobility habits motivated by the pandemic have caused a real ‘boom’ in the two-wheel market. Thus, in the case of motorcycles and according to the latest ANESDOOR statistics, in the first five months of the year a total of 6,395 motorcycles were registered in the Valencian Community, which represents 58.7% more than the same period of the year. last year. In the case of mopeds, the increase is 77.5% to 898 units.

For its part, the bicycle is also registering record figures. According to the study carried out by AMBE and Cofidis, in 2020, more than 1.5 million bicycles were sold in Spain, an increase of 24.10% compared to the previous year. The most popular bicycle model is still the mountain bike, but the greatest increases have been registered in electric models (+ 48.9%) and urban (+ 46.4%).

A fully consolidated Hall

Both 2 Wheels and VLC Bike’s are two fully consolidated events in the sector’s national fair scene and recognized as a direct business and sales platform both by the brands themselves and by the exhibiting dealers. In its last edition of 2019, the Show beat its own number of attendees with more than 19,000 registered visitors, which was 12% more than the previous edition. The event welcomed the offer of 133 brands and motorcycle and bike brands, in a showcase of more than 20,000 square meters of exhibition space.
