Visitors exploring product displays at a design trade show

Design Meets Business.

DAE turns a fixed show window into an operating system for trade, content and buyer relationships.

DAE is not only a fixed exhibition window. It is a connected system for pre-show demand, immersive presentation, buyer matching, content distribution and post-show reporting.

Leaner ROI

Standardized participation and targeted buyer operations connect investment to real commercial leads.

Year-round

Offline peaks are extended by online showrooms, quarterly events and ongoing buyer communities.

Targeted

A media matrix reaches designers, owners, distributors, overseas buyers and KOLs.

Credible B2B

A broad designer, homeowner and city-channel network builds trust bridges for exhibitors.

Show Presence

A Global Edit of Design, Living, and Technology

The fair is organized around real use cases rather than isolated booth display.
