Moda: The essential trade event for all your fashion business needs

More independent retailers are now holding their own on the high street and support for their achievements is becoming more widely documented. Moda, the champion of independent retail and the UK’s leading trade fashion exhibition, hosts its next show on 12-14 August at the NEC Birmingham, and strives to offer the best labels, business guidance and everything its visitors need both in and out of season as tools to help independent retailers differentiate themselves from the competition.

Anticipation for the spring/summer 13 show started building months ago as the online Moda Community portal launched to enable brands and buyers to contact each other in advance, book appointments and cement business relationships as well as providing access to first- class retail advice. Operational all year round, the platform allows seamless interaction to help the industry stay vibrant and inspired.

A carefully considered seminar programme allowing visitors to choose from a selection of focused topics adds value to the buying experience. Highlighting the central issues affecting retailers today, the seminars will help buyers boost their business intelligence to feel re- energised for the season ahead. Across the three-day show a series of sessions on PR & marketing, mobile commerce, customer service, social media, visual merchandising and trends will be hosted by industry specialists.

Social events at the show make for great camaraderie, fun and a refreshingly positive atmosphere. Happy hour drinks, live music, a summer barbecue and more than 1,450 of the world’s best fashion collections all in one easy to get to, out of London, location makes Moda the number one show to visit this summer.
