The return of spoga+gafa in Cologne on its new dates of 19-21 June, when sustainability will be a key theme, is producing a high level of interest internationally from both exhibitors and visitors...

Three months before the trade fair opens, the number of exhibiting countries is similar to the level of the record year in 2019. 

European companies have significantly increased their exhibition space, proof that the new date in June is going down well with exhibitors.

As expected, the participation of Asiatic exhibitors is reserved due to the entry and exit regulations still applicable in Asia. Asiatic manufacturers with European subsidiaries will however form an integral part of the trade fair and, like their fellow competitors worldwide, they too are showing interest in additional exhibition space.

The event programme of spoga+gafa is setting new accents, such as for example the lecture programme with its a clear focus on the current challenges of the industry (keywords: supply chains, eCommerce). 

Special events accentuating individual products include the Boulevard of Ideas and the Outdoor Lifestyle Trend Show with its focal themes: Sustainability, Urbanisation, the Silver Society and Individualisation. 

The theme of the trade fair is more important than ever  – Sustainable Gardens.  Among others, guided tours across the whole grounds will highlight products and solutions that support the garden on its way to a more sustainable existence.

The launch of the year-round digital platform of spoga+gafa, which introduces products and people to each other 365 days a year and thus heralds the start of the order process, is eagerly awaited. 

The in-person events are complemented by ambista, the online business network for the international interiors industry, which provides direct anywhere, anytime access to relevant products, contacts, expertise and events.
