The feedback from visitors and exhibitors alike has been very positive so far this year. We speak to some of the 390+ exhibitors to get their first impressions of Showcase 2025.
Pearse Caulfield, Caulfield Country Boards
It’s been a great show so far. The opening day yesterday was a great day - meeting existing clients and making new contacts as well as making lots of international progress. It’s great, as a brand that has exhibited at Showcase for the past 12 years, to see international buyers back and breaking new ground in the United States and UK markets. Between what the Showcase team does and the publicity they create around the event it is a great opportunity to launch new products and set you up for the year ahead.

Showcase 2025 has been a very positive experience for me so far. I’ve met some new stockists and have touched base with some existing ones. It’s nice to meet, greet and have a chat with my customers. This is my second time showing in the DCCI Area and I’ve previously exhibited in the Local Enterprise Showcase. It’s great to be here.
Maeve Pudney, Outcrop
We’ve had an amazing show so far not least because we won a Showcase Award in the Sustainability category. Sustainability is really the ethos behind all our designs and the buyers have really responded well to our new product designs.
Emmet Bosonnet, Kopper Kreation
This is my sixth year exhibiting at Showcase and it is such an important event for my brand. It is a very important event for connecting with existing buyers and nurturing your relationships with new buyers and stores. The unexpected nature of Showcase is something that I love - the possibility of meeting that one commercial client that you haven’t expected. There is also a wonderful opportunity to connect with other makers and designers - there is such a wealth of talent and craft at the show and that really drives my own creativity. I’m also incredibly honoured to have won the award for the best Overall product at the show in the Showcase Awards.
Gerard Horn, George Horn Gloves
There has been a great buzz around the show and it’s proving to be a great start to the year for us.
