In Europe, one of the biggest international fairs for the garden and leisure industry is spoga+gafa. This leading garden event is based in Cologne, Germany and arrives every year in early summer at Koelnmesse. The annual event lasts for a total of two days in early June. One of the big selling points for spoga+gafa is its international nature with a solid mixture of local buyers and exhibitors and international brands. Exhibitors are able to look at their competitors and also see what’s new all over the world. You’re always first to learn about fresh trends, ideas and innovations that will shape the upcoming year. This makes spoga+gafa a promising procurement platform, where new products get all the attention and product launches are successful.
If you’re looking to create buzz for product launches and gain interest from new markets, spoga+gafa creates the perfect conditions. The international exhibition features guided tours, which bring a steady stream of qualified leads right to your booth. Exhibitors register a large number of direct sales and sales leads. spoga+gafa is the perfect place to reconnect with existing customers and network with buyers from all over Europe and as far as Asia and North America. Names you encounter include GIGA International, the Polish Garden Centers Association (PSCO), Dinger's Garden Centre Cologne, furniture store Jäger and Garten-Center Kremer. The product portfolio is also quite rich and features water technology, biological building materials, garden furniture, green houses, chemical products, lighting technology and garden furniture.
spoga+gafa highlights trends in garden furniture designs as much as it educates on new concepts in biodiversity and sustainability. It’s this blend that gives exhibitors equal opportunities to work on building connections and stay competitive in their markets. On the trend sites, companies can join the Boulevard of Ideas and Trendshow Outdoor Furniture + Decoration. Lectures, workshops and TASPO Talks build the programme at the Garden Café Forum. Here visitors are able to learn more about sustainable markets and climate protection. Other subjects include the role of peat-free soils and upcycling. The other major forum is Forum Technology, which features interviews, CEO Talks and lectures. You can expect to dive deep into the Internet of Things in trade, standards for smart gardening and the next generation of battery-powered garden appliances.

Yes we are back from our trip and happy for you to pass on the below regarding Ashleys Gardens
We could walk from the venue to the Messe Dusseldorf exhibition centre which was a big advantage for us. So the location was key and a big tick.
The hotel is of course very old and the rooms are very small with no lift so up 2 flights of stairs with bags for everyone.
Restaurant is popular with the locals and often cannot fit you in for dinner and wont let you charge back to the rooms.
Staff are friendly and breakfast is good.
All the best.
Good morning,
Thank you for your kindness and professionalism.
For whatever we will address to you because we have found ourselves well.
Hello Tess,
Excellent service from Travel to Fairs Ltd for our last exhibition (IWA OUTDOOR CLASSICS2018) in Nuremberg, Germany.
Very competitive prices - the fact that you managed to offer us rooms when everything else was sold out speaks for itself!
We'll work with you again in the future.
Kind Regards,
Alrico Quik
Dear Tom
Your mail was unfortunately in the undesirable box !
I do really thank you for your help, mainly before our travel because it was very very helpful for me.
The hotel « Zum Deutschen Eck » was perfect for what we wanted and a special mention for the person at the reception : he was very nice and competent.
The hotel was clean and very arranging so perfect for all our next K fairs for sure !
I wish you a nice day and will not hesitate to call you when we will have a need.
Best regards,
Nick Lloyd is very helpful, and friendly. He replies to questions quickly and informatively. We did not end up booking anything due to other reasons, but I would recommend Nick Lloyd to anyone wanting to book accommodation for conferences.
Hi Brian,
I have spoken to two of the people who stayed at the hotel.
The both said it was clean, very convenient for ExCel and good value for money compared to other hotels in the area.
Kind regards
Kathy

Dear Megan,
Thank you very much for your help with the reservation.Your service was excellent, and I will contact you again
when i have to travel to the Near East.
Whenever I was travelling to Dubai, I booked the Crown Plaza Dubai on Sh Zayed Rd. (Our office is in the next tower)
The Hotel is in the style of the late eighties, but in perfect condition. I like this atmosphere and I hope they will conserve
it as it is. The staff is always friendly and helpful - first class.
We will be in touch.
Best regards,
Gerhard.
