From January 24 to 27, 2017, around 1,600 exhibitors from the entire world will present their innovations to a trade public at IPM in Essen. Because of the comprehensive modernisation of the fair site in Essen, Hall 9 and the upper-storey halls will be dispensed with on the occasion of IPM ESSEN 2017.
The temporary Halls 13 and 14 as well as the Grugahalle directly connected to the East Fair Building will be available as replacements. This will result in new, clearly structured hall allocation for the Plants, Technology and Floristry exhibition areas.
Halls 13 and 14: Italy
The temporary Halls 13 and 14 as well as the Grugahalle will be occupied by the Italian plant exhibitors who could previously be found in the whole of Hall 6.
Halls 4 and 6: Floristry
In 2017, the Floristry exhibitors from Hall 7 and the upper-storey halls will move into the former Italy hall (Hall 6) – directly connected to Hall 4. This will lead to a large, interconnected Floristry area at the heart of the fair site.
Hall 7: Plants Area / Joint Booths / Technology Area
The eastern part of Hall 7 will be assigned to the Plants area. In 2017, it will be possible to find here exhibitors from Hall 9, including the Spanish, Portuguese and Polish joint booths. The western half will be occupied by Technology exhibitors as an extension to the Galeria and Hall 3.
Galeria: Plants Area
At IPM ESSEN 2017, it will be possible to find plants, particularly flowering potted plants, flower bulbs and cut flowers, in the Galeria in addition. The exhibitors will also include the French joint booth which has presented itself in Hall 2 until now.
