bright trade show

The Bright tradeshow has established itself to a constant venue for streetwear, sneaker, fashion and boardsport in Europe. Driving force and link between the different elements is skateboarding, whose influences shaped decisively the image and authentic character of the different segments.
For a wide variety of brands Bright offers a product-related chance for presentation, its unique concept guarantees a maximum of image and identity. The individual location as well as the product-orientated framework, consisting of an innovative contest/artist program, support the characteristically atmosphere of the off-show. Skateboard culture and the relating side-events (artist shows & nightlife) are important features of the tradeshow; still the commercial aspect takes a primary position. With its concept the Bright tradeshow offers a very positive and comfortable atmosphere without neglecting the function as an interface between distribution and retail.

Bright trade show represents the underground urban/skate scene. It has brands from Vans, Converse, DK, skateboard, snowboard, surf, everything you need for a tradeshow as well as skateboarder’s flying around the place and its very own skate park. I really loved the enthusiasm and passion the brand ambassadors have in their own rooms and show spaces (it was an old warehouse that is home to Bright) each one welcoming and full of promotion power.  It even has a job board at the end of the show, which I think more trade shows need. Each area has their own VM and brand identity but also not to the extent of Bread and Butter, I don’t think I will visit anything quite like that place. TIP: give yourself at least half a day at Bright, I didn’t quite manage to get around the whole place as I thought it was a lot smaller than it actually was, and you get to know a lot more brands in industry that you may not of associated or thought about before. A press badge goes a long way as well. After collecting the latest underground and subculture magazines on offer I had to head to the next appointment that was Berlin Fashion Week.
