Numerous changes

Koelnmesse has announced changes to the concept for the next Spoga+Gafa fair, which will be held in Cologne from 5 – 7 September 2010. The garden show will be broken down into five segments: ‘garden creation’, ‘garden living’, ‘garden care’, ‘garden excellence’ and ‘garden basic’. A sliding scale will be introduced for rental charges to give a price advantage to exhibitors booking large spaces. What is more, exhibitors can obtain an unlimited number of free entrance ticket vouchers allowing them to invite their customers to the fair. Another change is to the opening times: next year’s Spoga+Gafa will be open from 10 am to 7 pm every day. The innovation forums are to be designed afresh and the plants section is to be further expanded.
