INDX Shows powerhouse goes national. Revealing exciting plans for 2025

INDX, the ultimate trade show experience curated by Associated Independent Stores (AIS) – the UK’s leading force in independent retail – is back and better than ever.

Expect an unrivalled 2025 calendar packed with buying focused events, a fresh market approach, and a completely revamped look and feel.

Plus, a new website, a killer brand identity, and an atmosphere that’s pure INDX magic…

Cementing their status as the UK’s premier retail industry trade shows, and mirroring the success of the INDX National Flooring Show, the following events will proudly claim National titles starting in 2025:

INDX Kids becomes the INDX National Kidswear Show, INDX Man becomes the INDX National Menswear Show and INDX Intimate Apparel becomes the INDX National Intimate Apparel Show.

The following event titles have been revamped to better reflect the inclusivity and diversity of their product showcases: INDX Homewares becomes INDX Home, INDX Beds & Bedroom becomes INDX Beds, and INDX Toy & Gift becomes INDX Toys, while INDX Furniture, INDX Woman, INDX Sports & Leisure, and INDX Gift Food show titles remain unchanged.

Furthermore, INDX is expanding its line-up with a brand-new show.

Launching in January 2025, INDX National Kids Footwear will run alongside INDX National Kidswear to create a complete, one-stop event destination for kids' retailers. Developed in partnership with the children's footwear industry, this exciting new show takes the INDX programme to 20 calendar events per year.

INDX shows will continue to expand, adapt and diversify to provide retailers with the tools, knowledge, and connections necessary to succeed in an ever-changing marketplace.

Every INDX show is a powerhouse for business and order writing, but certain events within our portfolio have undeniably captured the retail industry’s attention on a national scale. Recognising the unparalleled impact of these shows, we've made strategic decisions to elevate their market positions for 2025.

The introduction of the National Kids Footwear show is an exciting addition to the INDX family for 2025, and we will continue to introduce new show formats, product categories, and services to ensure that we remain a vital platform for retailers across a wide range of specialties.

These strategic changes will be amplified by a completely revamped look and feel that will elevate the entire INDX experience. This week, INDX redefined its online presence with a stunning new website – www.indxshows.co.uk, cue a bold new look, a streamlined user interface, and content that pops.

INDX is a retail force to be reckoned with and our confident new brand identity signals a higher level of ambition.

By seamlessly blending our digital world with the on-site experience at Cranmore Park, we aim to create a unified and memorable journey for our visitors and exhibitors, and we look forward to welcoming everyone to Cranmore Park for our 2025 shows.
