Showcase is Ireland’s largest international trade event for fashion, jewellery, gift and interiors. It offers buyers the opportunity to meet with over 430 Irish companies from designers, crafts people and leading Irish brands. It is anticipated that 5,000 retail buyers will attend with almost 1,000 international buyers travelling from 26 countries. Buyers attend Showcase to source creative, innovative and unique products from leading Irish designers and manufacturers.

Showcase provides a platform for Irish companies to meet with international buyers across global markets. Enterprise Ireland’s network of overseas offices promotes Showcase to international buyers and it is looking forward to welcoming all international buyers who are looking to source exciting new innovative products.

Showcase is the first major trade event of ID2015, a Year of Irish Design, a government initiative to explore, promote and celebrate Irish design throughout Ireland and internationally.
