Upcoming Trade Shows Stuttgart, Germany for Home & Lifestyle

The Caravan, Motor, Touristik (CMT) fair forms one of the central pillars of the home and lifestyle industry in Stuttgart. For close to sixty years, the fair has serviced the growing needs of the German public for outdoor experiences. Camping, hiking and exploration are core values of Germany’s culture and CMT ensures the needs for outdoor experiences are met. The CMT fair thrives on innovation, with a dedicated area, CMTtrend, focusing on start-ups and creative new approaches in the travel sector. This special area allowed exhibitors to pitch their products and present short talks on fresh concepts that promise to transform travel and holiday planning. This emphasis on innovation is crucial for an industry that continually seeks new ways to enhance travel experiences and streamline vacation planning. CMT 2024 took deliberate steps to promote specific markets and travel topics through its subsidiary shows across two weekends. The first weekend catered to cyclists, nature lovers, and adventurers, while the second weekend focused on golfers and sea holiday enthusiasts. This segmentation allowed the fair to address diverse interests and provide tailored experiences for different visitor groups. The fair’s support program offered a packed schedule of seminars, presentations, and talks catering to both trade visitors and the general public. A standout event was the CMT School Day, designed for school pupils to play and learn about their home region, Baden-Württemberg. Featuring puzzles, quests and questions, the event combined education with entertainment, culminating in a raffle with exciting prizes. Interest in caravanning remains robust. New vehicles, accessories, and the latest industry technology were prominently showcased. A notable addition this year was an area explicitly focused on the concept of New Work, presenting vehicles designed for remote work and travel. Exhibitors from the caravanning industry reported fruitful discussions, indicating a rise in both the quantity and quality of interactions.
