«The 31st season of CPM has completed its work with excellent indicators – exhibitors note the working atmosphere and high professionalism of visitors. Today, Russian retail is able to meet the market demand for local and foreign fashion brands.

Many visitors were surprised by the move of the 21st Retail Forum Russian Fashion Retail Forum (RFRF) to the Russian pavilion, but it turned out that the change of location did not prevent all interested persons from getting acquainted with current market research and expert opinions of speakers, as well as attending a public lecture on trends The spring-summer 2019 season, from the world leader in forecasting, the London agency WGSN.
The exhibition does not lag behind modern digital trends – the mobile application CPM App allows you to quickly find any participant of the exhibition and schedule meetings and negotiations. Instagram users will always find all the latest news and live broadcasts from the CPM screening room on the vystvki channel.
«It is already safe to say that the last exhibition has once again confirmed the status of the leading business platform of the fashion market of Eastern Europe. The number of participants and visitors CPM reflects the situation in the industry: we see a positive trend compared to the previous autumn season. The support of domestic companies by government agencies also has a good effect on the working atmosphere. I would like to mention the participants of the national collective stands from Kyrgyzstan and, for the first time, from Armenia, who have already announced their participation in the next season and an increase in the exposition.
