New event venue

The Forum, organised every two years by Fediyma (Federation of European DIY and gardening Manufacturers’ Associations), is to be held this year not as before in Brussels but in Barcelona. The topic for the Forum, which takes place on 13 and 14 September, is “Sharing knowledge to sustain profitable growth” and will focus on an exchange of skills. 20 top-class speakers from the retail and manufacturing sectors and the spheres of consultancy and research will address the Forum. The new Fediyma study on consumer behaviour in Europe, based on a survey of 20 000 consumers in 14 countries, will also be presented at the event. The full programme is available at www.fediyma.com.
