(eap) After four successful days, GaLaBau 2024 ended last Saturday. Over 66,000 trade visitors (in 2022 there were around 62,000 visitors) from Germany and abroad came to the Exhibition Center Nuremberg from 11 to 14 September for the 25th edition of the leading international trade fair for urban greenery and open spaces. Covering an area of almost 61,000 square meters, the numerous visitors were able to find out about the latest trends in the sector from over 1,100 exhibiting companies from 33 countries in 14 exhibition halls, make contacts and initiate business for the time after the trade fair. Among the exhibitors at this year’s GaLaBau were also manufacturers of themed play equipment and leisure facilities.
Stefan Dietrich, Director of GaLaBau, looks back on the anniversary edition with satisfaction: “The exhibition has exceeded the visitors’ expectations. In these uncertain times, GaLaBau offers a reliable port of call for industry stakeholders. It’s where they find solutions to their day-to-day challenges and answers to their burning questions – whether about the digitisation of their businesses or how to position themselves for a climate-friendly future. The constant influx of visitors to the Innovation Hub and extensive interest in the green-blue path confirm that we have identified the needs of the sector in good time and offered a suitable programme for all its representatives. We are already looking forward to continuing to develop these innovative formats for the next round of the event in 2026 and exploit their potential.”
The next GaLaBau will take place in 2026 with a new duration from Tuesday, Sept 15 to Friday, Sept 18 at the Exhibition Center Nuremberg. But first, the leisure industry professionals will gather at the leading European trade fair for the attractions industry (IAAPA Expo Europe) next week in Amsterdam. Looking forward to seeing you there! ■
