When spoga+gafa 2014 opens its doors to trade visitors from all over the globe from 31 August to 2 September, one thing is already certain: The range in the segments garden living, garden creation, garden care, garden basic and garden unique will be very impressive. After a successful initial registration phase, countless renowned companies from home and abroad have already announced their participation at the international garden trade fair. Almost 80 percent of the planned exhibition space is already occupied. Major brands in the industry have already made sure they have secured space in the exhibition area, which spans approx. 200,000 square metres.
In 2014, trade visitors can look forward to an attractive supporting program and eye-catching special zones. Established successful events such as the “Garden Centre Day”, but also newcomer events like the “IVG Garden Party” or “spoga+gafa in 100 seconds” are already being planned. A further novelty in 2014 will be the BHB Garden Summit on 3 September 2014. From this year onwards the new congress event is to take place every two years in alternation with the BHB Garden Congress and picks up on the leading trade fair for sport, lifestyle, camping and garden, Koelnmesse’s spoga+gafa.
Talking about newcomers: there will also be a new edition of the young designer competition, “unique youngstar” in 2014. Applications can be submitted now. So, the young designers will also have the opportunity to present themselves at this year’s spoga+gafa in an exclusive ambience.
