NUREMBERG,GERMANY -- As the result of a joint decision by the Stone+tec Tradefair’s honorary sponsors, BIV (Association of German Stonemasons) and DNV (German Natural Stone Association), the advisory board of Stone+tec and the organiser, NürnbergMesse GmbH, the next Stone+tec Trade Fair will take place in 2018. In response to the express preference of many exhibitors, visitors and professional associations, the trade fair, which takes place every two years, will be held in even years in future. The next Stone+tec fair has therefore been scheduled for June 13th to 16th, 2018.
Changing the fair schedule to even years means Stone+tec fits perfectly into the industry calendar for the stone and related sectors. Scheduling the fair in June and retaining the customary Wednesday-to-Saturday sequence will mean it avoids holidays and help ensure it is a contemporary, successful event. The new timeframe will enable the trade fair to continue being the key industry platform that brings together the natural stone industry from around the German-speaking world and the wider international industry.
