Keeping pace with the industry trends, the show is also re-inventing itself every year. The huge variety of events (almost 500 totally including the ones hosted by the show organizers and the ones realized onsite by the exhibiting companies directly) is reflecting the industry’s demand for deeper knowledge and communication opportunities.

A number of topics was presented during the show, such as “Change & Innovation brought by E-Commerce O2O to Flooring Products” discussed at the China Wood Flooring Retails Forum; and “From ‘Home Inn’ to be ‘In Home’ – Hotel Design Strategy Development discussed during the Hospitality Design Salon” hosted by the Shanghai Architect Fair (a co-located event of DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR), just to give two examples.

A last remarkable note about this successful 2014 edition should refer to the onsite show experience provided to all attendees. Many showcase areas were installed throughout the show ground to give extra attention to specific product categories and help visitors to better understand the products, such as the Handmade Carpet section where a Silent Auction and a Live Weaving Performance Area were realized or the Flooring Heating Systems experience area where different heating systems were installed and performed during the show dates.
