Dear Ellie, Thank you for your assistance. The Hotel you suggested was fine for my son and collegue, Szabolcs Török. He was satisfied. It would be a good hotel for him for the next Frankfurt Book Fair. Best regards on behalf of Szabolcs, too, Margit Gruber/DS Budapest Kft

IPM Essen 2025 will occur between the 28th and 31st of January. Organisers will host the event as a live exhibition at Messe Essen.
Preface
Founded in 1983, IPM Essen (Essen IPM) is the leading event for the horticulture industry. The event serves as the central source of information about essential sector developments. The fair occurs annually in Messe Essen.
IPM Essen receives attendees such as plant producers, DYI store chain owners, and gardeners. Many authorities, including municipal officials and media representatives, also attend the fair. Florists furthermore visit the fair to find inspiration for new floral compositions. So do many horticultural technical professionals such as application designers, ecological engineers, et cetera.
Essen IPM is an international fair that receives over 50 000 attendees. For instance, one edition had around 1 549 exhibitor firms and 53 000 visitants. Attendees represented around 46 countries. These include The Commonwealth of Australia, Belgium, Japan, the USA, Peru, and Mexico.
About IPM in Essen
IPM in Essen is an international fair that allows attendees to achieve several important goals. Such include networking as well as expanding business and specialist knowledge. It can also help them in learning about new trends and gain recognition.
IPM creates a high-profile business platform for both leading figures and start-ups. The fair includes an extensive exhibition where exhibitors can showcase their innovations. The exposition has four areas of interest. These are Plants, Floristry, Technology, and Garden Features. Many of the products showcased at the fair are sustainable. For example, many exhibitors showcase cold and heat-tolerant plant varieties.
Essen IPM also features a support program consisting of various specialised events. For instance, one of the main events is the Teaching Show. During the Show, German research centre specialists present their latest plant breeding results. Often, the event has several focus themes. For example, one edition focused on the usage of light and growth regulation.
Another notable event in the support program of the fair is the Innovation Showcase. During the Showcase, exhibitor firms display their latest shrub novelties. Such include new varieties meant to resist or tolerate heat or cold. The Showcase can be of particular value to start-ups, as it allows them to gain recognition.
The support program of the trade fair also includes the Flower Battle. This is one of the leading events of the Essen IPM. It features florists and floral designers competing to create the most spontaneous arrangements. They choose, for the task, their building materials from a large stack in front of the audience. Each member of the audience then votes for the arrangements.
IPM Essen’s ausstellerverzeichnis (exhibitor list) includes pre-eminent enterprises such as:
- Logiqs;

Hi Megan and Ben,
I would like to thank you for our booking and making our stay super amazing at Mitico! They are so very helpful, made everything so comfortable for us and most certainly you can recommend this hotel to other wheelchair users! We made some recommendations to a lady there, I think it may have been Laura about the bathroom which could use a little improving.
Once again, thank you for you the help offered regarding everything!
For next year I would like to start sourcing for 5 people (1 wheelchair user) as this year because the bookings were so late, we were all around Bologna and the taxi fairs were insane.
Something for us to keep in mind!

Hello Megan,
Yes, I have been told by colleagues that the hotel was very good in terms of facilities, rooms and breakfast. The hotel was a great success, so close to the fairgrounds that they could go for a short walk. Thank you very much for your great choice 😊
Thank you!

The overall opinion regarding Glam Milano was positive. The staff was friendly, the location was great and the service in general good, although not always adequate. The breakfast was average - a little less than expected. The beds were comfortable.

Dear Megan,
We were very thankful for your service and the great support from the day of booking until the last day at the hotel. The hotel was 10/10. Thank you very much!

Dear Tom,
our team spent 5 days in Hotel Relexa in Ratingen - Duesseldorf for Tube exhibition. The Hotel was very good and not so far from exhibition. It was a real pleasure to work with you and your team, your assistance has always been punctual and I really appreciated your good work.
Thank you.

Hi Giancarlo,
sorry if I take advantage of your personal number, but I want to tell you a big thank you in private because in a short time you have organized everything for me. You know I was anxious when they asked me to find the hotel for my colleagues. Then when you wrote me the first time, I started to calm down. Finally I even felt pampered. You are really special in your work.
I will never stop thanking you!
