The garden and BBQ trade fair in the world, spoga+gafa, is 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 is carrying on the success of last year.
With over 1,850 exhibitors from 58 countries, the leading global trade fair 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: Numerous national and international companies have confirmed their participation, including many big players and renowned brands, but also newcomers and start-ups.
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.'
Key theme dominates the trade fair programme
This year's key theme "Responsible Gardens" is arousing widespread interest among the industry and is playing a major role in the design of the fair grounds. International experts will address the theme in depth in the scope of lectures and talk formats in the "Forum Garden Cafe". In addition, a diversified event programme with special areas like the "Boulevard of Ideas", the "POS Green Solution Islands", the Outdoor Lifestyle Trend Show" and theme-based tours await the visitors. Here the emphasis lies on the challenges of the industry as well as solutions for the future of the trade.
