spoga+gafa continues on its course of success


After a successful spoga+gafa 2016 achieved a 6% increase in attendance and reaped lots of praise by the participants of the trade fair, all the signs for the international garden fair 2017 are also very good.

The early bird campaign that enables exhibitors to secure their presentation space early at favourable conditions had achieved a record result when it came to a close on 28 October:

Exhibitors from 56 countries registered during the campaign period and thus secured themselves their preferred stand location at the next spoga+gafa in good time. 84% of the planned exhibition space has already been booked. As such, the result has increased again by 4% compared to the early bird result of the previous year. spoga+gafa 2017 will take place in Cologne from 3 to 5 September.

In addition to the good result in terms of quality, the field of participants is already proving to be very high-quality. Numerous strong brands as well as national and international industry giants have confirmed their participation at spoga+gafa 2017 in good time and will once again enable the guests to experience the garden theme in all its facets.

In line with the diversity of spoga+gafa, registrations were received for all of the four production sections: garden living, garden creation & care, garden bbq and garden unique.

First-time exhibitors, who will be making their way to Cologne, include among others Florensis and Fleuro Select. Brands like Barlow Tyrie, Biohort, BM-Massivholz, Briggs&Stratton, EFSA, Einheitserdewerke Patzer, Felco, Fitt, Glatz, Happy People, Hartman, Hozelock, intex, Keter, Koopman, Mesto, Napoleon, Nardi, Rösle, Scheurich, Selecta One, Sieger, Solo, Tielbürger or Weber-Stephen will among others also be on board at the international garden fair in September 2017.

The spoga+gafa 2017 is open to trade visitors on 3 and 4 September from 09:00 a.m. to 06:00 p.m. and on 5 September from 09:00 a.m. to 05:00 p.m. Further information is available at www.spogagafa.com

The Garden Day 2017 is open to end-users and trade visitors on 2 and 3 September from 09:00 a.m. to 06:00 p.m. Further information is available at www.tagdesgartens-koeln.com
