One of the main changes was in the competitions. From the beginning, only one category was allowed, the one known locally as "White or Bisque", but this was to change. Two more categories were to be added to this one, as a result of the transformation that took place in the sector: Traditional Ceramics and Design and New Forms in Ceramics.

The Exhibition was not going to lose its pace and in this same decade it underwent an important transformation, with the support of the recently created "Asociación de Artesanos +Alfareros" (Association of Craftsmen + Potters). It became a modern exhibition with a clear promotional objective. It was made up of four sections: the competition area, where there are 3 categories that we have already mentioned, where the most creative and artistic facet of the trade is shown, the area of stands of ceramic manufacturers, where the daily work is shown and the area of stands of manufacturers of machinery for ceramics and raw materials, to facilitate contact between suppliers and craftsmen, and the retail department.

In the eighties, as we said, the Exhibition was modernised to keep pace with the times: it incorporated hostesses to attend to the public, telematic elements, computers, banking terminals, air conditioning and public address systems, etc., it was advertised on TV, radio, written press, Internet, a promotional magazine of the event was published, posters, leaflets... The Exhibition underwent a profound process of transformation and modernisation.
