The organisers of spoga+gafa are reporting a high level of internationality among the exhibitors and 14 almost fully-booked exhibition halls for 16 to 18 June.
With around 96 percent of the exhibition space booked and a high rebooking rate, spoga+gafa say they are carrying on the success of last year.
With over 1,850 exhibitors from 58 countries, the global trade fair say they already recorded an increase in both the number of intercontinental exhibitors and in the exhibiting companies from Europe and the DACH region in 2023. Figures that will also be achieved again in 2024. Particularly the share of companies from Europe and North America has increased significantly compared to last year, they say.
In the face of the challenging circumstances that prevail within the industry, Stefan Lohrberg, Director of spoga+gafa, considers the booking status of the garden lifestyle trade fair to be an important, positive sign. "With their clear commitment to spoga+gafa the companies are sending out a strong signal in spite of the in some cases challenging market conditions. spoga+gafa is the industry's most important meeting point and opens up new and unique business opportunities - ultimately the entire green industry profits from a successful spoga+gafa."
This year's key theme for the show is "Responsible Gardens". International experts will address the theme in lectures and, in addition, an event programme with special areas like the "Boulevard of Ideas", the "POS Green Solution Islands", the Outdoor Lifestyle Trend Show" and theme-based tours will also take place
