Autumn Fair, the season’s number one home and gift marketplace for the retail industry, will once again be welcoming ACID to this year’s event. ACID, the UK’s leading design and intellectual property campaigning organisation, will have their Exhibition Protocol and Legal teams on-hand to listen to exhibitors’ and visitors’ concerns.
ACID has a history of performing over 4,000 grass roots mediations at accredited exhibitions over the last 20 years. Autumn Fair, as a fully accredited ACID partner show, will offer its exhibitors unique access to design theft counsel and advice of huge value.
Louise Young, managing director of Spring & Autumn Fair, said: “At Autumn Fair we’re proud of our ACID accreditation and are looking forward to welcoming their team to this year’s event. As the leading voice against design theft in the UK, they’ll be able to offer our exhibitors the know-how they’d need to successful navigate the complex legal implications of design theft. Intellectual property theft has the potential to affect any one of our exhibitors. Design fraud not only strips its victims of the credit they deserve for their designs, but can also have a significant impact on sales. It’s why Autumn Fair takes the issue so seriously and why we will continue to work closely with ACID.”
ACID commented: “Autumn Fair is an extremely important event for us with so many ACID members in attendance, and many IP breaches emerging from the home and gift sector. For many of them it’s where we’re at our most accessible and visible, which makes it a fantastic opportunity to drop-in for a chat or to raise their concerns. Autumn Fair are a really collaborative partner who give us wide-ranging access to exhibitors – really allowing us to hear the most pressing issues of the day for designers.”
Anti-Copying in Design’s team can be found at Stand X37 in Hall 3.
What’s new at Glee 2018?
In 2018 Glee will be benefitting from a complete relocation into NEC halls 6, 7, 8, & 19-20, providing the show with a much bigger footprint, and an even larger and more exciting exhibition.

From a new location, to a refreshed floorplan and a wealth of additional features and innovative content, Glee 2018 will be THE show to attend if you want to stay ahead of the competition in 2019 and beyond.
Matthew Mein, Glee’s Event Director, said: “Glee 2018 is all about arming retailers and suppliers with the tools, inspiration and knowledge to grow their businesses. This year we have curated a show that builds on the success of previous years but takes it to the next level.”
