We would like to start by thanking the 2024 exhibitors whose participation helped create an Expo that received fantastic feedback, both directly to us and in the press (for example, in the swedish Knivmakaren magazine).

KnivExpo 2025 will once again be held in the Great Hall (Stora Rikssalen) and the Castle Courtyard (Borggården) at Vadstena Castle. There will be no major changes in the Great Hall from previous years. The number of exhibitors here is limited, and those who have exhibited at the Expo before will have priority in registration. Exhibitors in the Great Hall can leave their products on the tables as the hall is locked and alarmed at night. Many prefer to cover their tables with a tablecloth when leaving at the end of de Expoday, and for that, you'll need to bring your own cloth. Once again, we emphasize attendance, as no one wants to visit an Expo with empty tables. In the Great Hall, exhibitors are required to attend all three days of the Expo.

The Courtyard will be equipped with exhibition tents that have flooring. The size of the tents will be adjusted based on the number of exhibitors registering, so we are more flexible in terms of the number of exhibitors here. We certainly want to continue being an Expo that is open to those who can only participate for one or two days. If you are unable to exhibit on all Expo days, please inform us of this when you register. The placement of the tents will be adjusted from previous years, and we will also ensure better lighting. Exhibitors in the Courtyard must remove their products at the end of each Expoday since the Courtyard remains open to visitors late into the evening, and it cannot be locked or alarmed. This is also why there is a difference in table prices between the Great Hall and the Courtyard.

No vehicular traffic is allowed in the Courtyard during Expo hours, and setup and takedown must also take place outside of these hours. Some exceptions can be made in special cases after discussion between the exhibitor and the Expo organizers, but strong reasons are required.

We will provide you with tables, tablecloths, and accompanying chairs. Each spot will be labeled with the exhibitor's unique information. Electricity can be provided at all tables if needed. Everything is included in the price (this applies to both the Great Hall and the Courtyard).

This year, exhibitors will again have the opportunity to order lunch, and the menu will be sent to you via email in the spring.

A new option for this year is to order a breakfast bag containing two cheese and ham sandwiches, a yogurt, an egg, coffee/tea, and juice. The breakfast bag costs 69 SEK each.

Please indicate your interest in lunch and breakfast when you book your spot at the KnivExpo.

You also have the chance to purchase our specially designed coffee mug for KnivExpo 2025 exhibitors, which includes unlimited coffee or tea from KnivExpo’s cafés throughout the Expo. The mug can be ordered directly when you register for the Expo.

Another new feature is that we request a short presentation of who you are and what your work/products entail in your registration. You are also welcome to provide links to your website, Instagram and Facebook so we can link to your pages from ours. This information will help us better present you as exhibitors.

The image below gives an idea of how it might look.

This year, you will also have the option to customize your personal name tags directly in your registration. You can choose whether to include just your name, just your company name, or both your name and your company name. If there are multiple people at the table, which names would you like to appear on the different name tags? Below, you will see a few different examples of how they could look.

On Thursday evening, July 10th, we will light up the grills as per tradition. The 2024 barbecue evening exceeded all of our expectations, so let's repeat it in 2025—bigger and better!

With that, we warmly invite everyone to register so that we can create a successful

KnivExpo 2025 together in the same spirit as previous years!
