Significantly more exhibitors from Europe at Spoga+Gafa 2024

Spoga+Gafa reports a high level of international exhibitors and 14 almost fully booked exhibition halls in Cologne (Germany) for the upcoming 2024 edition in June. With around 96 per cent of exhibition space rented out and a high rebooking rate, the trade fair aims to build on last year's success from 16 to 18 June.

With more than 1 850 exhibitors from 58 countries, the world's leading trade fair for garden and BBQ already recorded an increase in both intercontinental exhibitors and exhibiting companies from Europe and the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) in 2023. Messe Koelnmesse assures that these figures will be reached again in 2024. In particular, the proportion of European and North American companies has increased significantly compared to the previous year: numerous national and international companies have confirmed their participation. In view of the challenging circumstances in the industry, Stefan Lohrberg, Director of Spoga+Gafa, sees the booking status of the garden lifestyle trade fair as an important positive signal for the garden industry.

The main theme of this year's trade fair is "Responsible Gardens". According to the organisers, it has met with great interest in the industry.
