Online fair organizing platform BDFairs.com is set to hold the country’s first digital fair titled “Shoe and Leather Goods Fair 2020” from September 7. Local export-oriented industries, domestic and foreign machine and material suppliers and buyers of international brands will participate in the month-long online fair, says a press release. Although exhibitors would need to register beforehand, buyers and general visitors will require no registration, the release added. Through this initiative, buyers will be able to communicate directly with Bangladeshi exporters and establish a connection with the global market, the organizers said in the release. This initiative will play a very effective role in adapting to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and the post-Covid era, as well as improving Bangladesh’s image in the international arena. Buyers will easily find Bangladeshi producers to meet their needs, it also read. During the fair, webinars, talk shows and technical knowledge sharing programs will be organized with the participation of local and foreign experts through this platform as well as other social media, which will benefit everyone in the sector. The BDFairs team is working to introduce Bangladesh to the world anew through this online fair and to establish Bangladesh as the best sourcing hub. They also intend to hold many more digital expos in future.
