JOIN THE BEST IN SURFACE MATERIAL INNOVATION AT SDS25

Surface Design Show (SDS) is a one-of-a-kind industry event, attracting almost 200 exhibitors and over 6000 architecture and design professionals each year to the Business Design Centre in Islington, at the heart of creative London.

SDS25, held between February 4-6, presents the ideal opportunity to engage with a hard-to-reach and highly targeted audience of senior decision makers. An impressive three quarters of our visitors are architects and designers with purchasing authority, providing the perfect platform to reconnect with existing contacts and, crucially, generate new business, both from the UK and Europe.

Surface Design Show is the UK’s only event dedicated to surface material
innovation. If you’re a supplier of surface materials for exterior or interior building projects, you can engage with leading specifiers at Surface Design Show. From floor to ceiling; facades to cladding; paints to coatings; glass, plastics, wood and metal; fabrics to wall covering; green or sustainable… the list is endless, but the opportunities are unrivalled.

We recognise that every company’s sales and marketing strategy is unique,
which is why we offer a variety of exhibitor opportunities and other ways to
participate in this must-visit event on the design calendar to suit your needs
and your budget.
