Discussions at eye level

Trendfairs welcomed selected companies to Munich for the round table on July 19, 2022

The idea of the "Round Table" dates back to around 1927. The Round Table expects from its members ("Tabler") open-mindedness and interest towards traditional as well as new ideas and developments according to the motto Adapt, Adjust, Improve. The motto comes from a speech by the Prince of Wales Edward VIII, who in 1927 used these words to encourage young men to adopt proven solutions and to develop and improve them in response to the changing circumstances of the present and the future.
