Coex’s 2nd Vietnam International Baby & Kids fair, held June 11-14 at the Tan Binh Exhibition & Convention Center (TBECC) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, drew a record crowd and exhibitors.

There were 14,900 registered attendees at the show, making it the event with the biggest number of visitors at TBECC. If including the  accompanying family members, the total attendance is to reach 34,000.

Vietnam International Baby & Kids fair first launched in Vietnam market November 2014 by South Korea’s biggest trade show organizer, Coex, together with its South Korean partner SEGE fairs.

With Vietnamese’ growing concern for child care and education, the first edition of the event was participated by 95 companies and 7,303 visitors & buyers.

Encouraged by the success of its first event, Coex has decided to host the 2nd edition of the show during summer of 2015 with new local partners such as Me&Con and Webtretho, premier media for women and baby products in Vietnam.

In consideration of Vietnamese lifestyle, Coex opened the exhibition till 9 p.m. during show days, providing working moms opportunity to get the latest products and service information on the baby and kids industry after work.

By organizing 18 seminars and 23 entertainment programs as concurrent events, the showfloor had plenty to offer, according to show organizers.    

With strong industry support for the show, Coex is set to host the 3rd Vietnam International Baby & Kids fair Nov. 507,  moving back to SECC as its venue.

It will be a collocated event with the 7th Vietnam International Retail & Franchise show, one of the biggest B2B events at the venue, which Coex has run since 2009.
