Vijfhuizen – With 18,000 trade visitors, an increase of 6,000 compared to last year, this number was an all time high for the IFTF Expo. Also the quality of visitors improved tremendously and exhibitors were delighted about the excellent quality of so many attending international buyers. “IFTF Expo has, in its third edition, become a grown up international floriculture trade show and is ready to grow from 16,000 m2’s to 48,000 m2’s, according to Dick van Raamsdonk, spokesman of the expo.
Having the Floraholland trade fair taking place in the auction at the same time and almost around the corner, IFTF’s home base Expo Haarlemmermeer is the ideal location to further develop this exhibition to the next level. Besides the available 48,000 m2 exhibition space, the abundant presence of natural daylight, the big number number of available parking spaces (4500), the excellent accessability by public transportation (20 minutes from Schiphol Airport) as well as by car (with no traffic jams at all), contribute greatly to the ideal location for such a fair in this former Floriade building. “I am convinced that because of all what this exhibition building can offer, the IFTF will be able to live up to its name and further grow to become one of the most important floriculture trade fairs in the world”. “I have been working abroad for 27 years in floriculture and horticulture trade fairs and it is time to start using all this experience and knowledge as well for a fair in my home country”, Dick van Raamsdonk concluded. IFTF Expo will take place in 2013 from November 6 to November 8.
