'Expect the Unexpected' – this is the exciting motto of Heimtextil 2009. As the leading international trade fair for textile furnishing and decoration specialists, it will not only offer you a host of surprises but also provide you with the latest insights into all major trends in the sector.

In our Newsletter, we offer an early overview of the activities you can expect at Heimtextil 2009 – so you will be able to make systematic preparations for your visit to the fair.

In this, the first issue, you can find out everything about the latest innovations. But that's not all. We also provide a foretaste of 'Showcases 2009' and 'Contact Creations', as well as the print and video blogs that will run parallel to the fair.

You can also look forward to lots of interesting and useful information in the next three issues of Heimtextil News. For example, we will introduce you in detail to the 'Let's talk about it' discussion platform on the trend theme of sustainability, and report on the Heimtextil Trends. Additionally, we will keep you posted about the lectures and workshops being organised by AIT architectural magazine, about the 'Heimtextil Bedding Certificate', the 'Heimtextil goes City' show with interior decorators in Frankfurt and a new show for young people.

If that's not something to look forward to! We will send you the next Newsletter in mid-December. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy reading this issue.

Best wishes,
Olaf Schmidt (Vice President Textile Fairs)
