CTCO 2022: REVIEW OF THIS 14TH EDITION
CTCO
Initially scheduled for early February 2022, the CTCO Lyon trade fair took place on March 15, 16 and 17 for an extraordinary edition where the entire promotional object and textile community was finally able to come together.
Key figures to remember
On the exhibitor side, there were more than 260 exhibitors, including 50 new ones, coming from more than 15 different countries to present the widest European offering on the market.
A comprehensive offering that allowed the 6,833 professional visitors present during the 3 days of the show to observe the latest trends in promotional objects and textiles.
The quality of the visitors was praised by market players, as was the number of new visitors who came to discover the new collections.
The media object industry finally came together at the CTCO to share, exchange, and learn. A great success and perfect timing given recent events! I would like to warmly thank the 656 Éditions team for their perseverance and the entire organization.

News on CTCO
This year, the show was held in two separate halls at Eurexpo, connected by a walkway. This new layout offered a dynamic visitor experience and an even more convivial setting, thanks in particular to the two bar areas that facilitated interaction.
Another new feature for 2022: Speed Demos . This event allowed nearly 30 exhibitors to "pitch" the product of their choice in front of the camera and visitors. This event put the spotlight on each participating exhibitor and their flagship product (now available on CTCO's YouTube channel ).
Animations to stay on the cutting edge
The new collections from textile brands Clique-Craft-Cutter&Buck-Projob, Mantis World, NEOBLU and Stormtech made their mark on the CTCO catwalk, with no fewer than 9 fashion shows over the 3 days of the show. An ideal opportunity for visitors to discover the products worn by models. Another highlight of the show, the conferences and round tables gave the audience the keys to the market. On the program : CSR scoring, textiles made in France, French branding, a market study on the effectiveness of media objects, web marketing tools adapted to our sector… Exclusive content, produced in collaboration with the magazine C!mag , 2FPCO and European Sourcing, long-standing partners of CTCO.
To stock up on new products, visitors were also able to discover a selection of 2022 innovations in the Musts area and vote for the promotional product of the year. For this 14th edition, Passot Innovation won the Musts 2022 award with its designer lamp/speaker.
Finally, the Print Lab provided an opportunity to attend demonstrations of embroidery, laser engraving, DTF (direct-to-film) and direct digital printing on objects.
