Kölnmesse is expanding the programme of special events at Spoga by additional features that offer new action and communication areas. Here visitors to the fair, to be held in Cologne from 6 – 8 September 2009, will be able to talk shop in a relaxed atmosphere or get the latest information from lectures delivered by industry experts. For instance, the “Park of grill & bbq” will be presented in Hall 5.1 and include live demonstrations. The “Park of garden furniture” is located in Hall 3.1, the “Park of beach & watersports” in Hall 5.2. These parks will also function as a showcase for the top innovations in their respective segment. What is more, a “Center of Excellence” for garden furniture will again be set up in Hall 2. You will find a detailed report on Spoga in Cologne in the next issue of DIY International No. 7-8/09.
