FAIRS AND EVENTS
Preparations for Spoga gafa 2022 , which will take place from June 19 to 21 , are in full swing. With just under ten months before the start of next year's event, the importance of the largest garden lifestyle fair to the landscaping industry is already becoming apparent. Following a successful early booking period of fifty countries and all continents, plus some considerable increases in reserved exhibition spaces, the list of confirmed international exhibitors sends a powerful message for the re-start of the show in June 2022.
Looking ahead to next year there will be many novelties in spofa gafa. In order to meet requests from the industries involved to adapt the fair cycle to new order patterns in the retail sector, this year the fair will take place in June for the first time, having been held for decades in September. "Requests from customers from all fair segments, but in particular for furniture, barbecue and decoration, to expand their exhibition spaces, in some cases considerably, show that the new date of the event has come in handy", says Stefan Lohrberg , director of Spoga gafa.
Since Spoga gafa will no longer be held in the joint location with Spoga horse, which will move to February 2022, it has been possible to accommodate this increased need for exhibition space. The now free pavilions will be used by spofa + gafa exhibitors in the garden furniture segment, allowing them to benefit from an improved visitor flow in the southern section of the fairgrounds. The routes between the established furniture room, 10.2 (single garden) and the two new furniture rooms (11.1 and 11.2) will be shorter and more direct, allowing visitors to get to know their suppliers better.
When supply and demand from the garden lifestyle industry meet again at the Cologne fairgrounds in June 2022, the key theme of Spoga gafa, which has carried over to next year, will once again be " Sustainable gardens ". "The pandemic in particular is showing that the needs and demands of global end customers are changing faster than expected. Spoga gafa is tackling these challenges and, together with its exhibitors and visitors, is developing answers and solutions to the main problems facing the gardening industry in the future", comments Stefan Lohrberg. One of the platforms for this within the event program will be the conference program, "Logistics 2.2 - Nontainer or Container".
In 2022, the physical fair in the Cologne showrooms will be complemented for the first time with a digital event, ?spofa + gafa @home?, which will take place in parallel. The new digital events platform will provide exhibitors and visitors with additional benefits: online and offline trade show days that are targeted and perfectly planned in advance, additional business around the world and targeted networks, both during Spoga Gafa and in digital monitoring of the fair.
