CHS
Manchester has opened registration ahead of its inaugural show, opening on Wednesday 30
September at the AO Arena.
And beyond the show floor, the CHS
Manchester Fringe is also already starting to take shape across the city, with
activity from SITE, NOWIE, and Grae Matter all confirming.
The Delegate
Wranglers will also be leading a relaxed, hosted networking built around
collaboration, inspiration, community and ‘good vibes only’, designed to help
people make meaningful connections without the usual pressure.
Meanwhile, Hyatt Regency
Manchester has also confirmed an early fringe event, offering a creative
afternoon of sip-and-paint, chocolate making and live music on its 18th floor,
overlooking the city skyline. Further activations are also in development, with
the full fringe programme set to launch later this summer.
Emma King, founder and CEO, CHS
Manchester, said: “Manchester gives us the space to do more than just a
show. The fringe is about opening the city up and creating more value for
visitors; different settings, different conversations, and more reasons to be
there.
“The response has
been brilliant; from exhibitors, partners and the wider industry. There’s a
real appetite for something that feels a bit different, and that’s exactly what
we’re building. It’s going to be busy, high energy and, most importantly, productive.”
