This commitment is further underlined by Stefan Schopp’s new honorary role: since December 2025, the Director of Christmasworld & Creativeworld has served as Regional Ambassador for the German Council of Shopping Places (GCSP), where he actively strengthens exchange within the retail real estate sector in the Frankfurt economic region. The first GCSP Regional Dinner will take place on Monday evening, 9 February 2026, at the nearby Main-Taunus-Zentrum.

Ambiente, Christmasworld and Creativeworld will continue to take place at the same time at the Frankfurt exhibition centre.
