Change of date: BIOFACH and VIVANESS 2022 to be held from 26 to 29 July
BIOFACH, the World’s Leading Trade Fair for Organic Food, and VIVANESS, the International Trade Fair for Natural and Organic Personal Care, have brought this year’s event at the exhibition centre Nuremberg to a close on a high note. More than 51,500 visitors, 50% from outside Germany, drew inspiration from the wealth of products on show from 3,273 exhibitors from 98 countries, and had the opportunity to discover novelties, trends and innovations from all around the world. Besides Germany, the top five countries represented by this year’s visitors included Italy, Austria, France and Spain. And with about 9,500 delegates and participants in its discussions, the accompanying Congress confirmed its position as the largest international platform for knowledge transfer and networking.
Petra Wolf, Member of the Management Board, NürnbergMesse, commented: “The atmosphere in all ten exhibition halls was amazing. The enthusiasm for the sector was palpable right from the outset – the level of energy there was fantastic. The market is currently developing very dynamically. So we’re all the more pleased that our exhibitors and visitors have BIOFACH and VIVANESS down on their calendars as the most important forum for trading and sharing ideas, especially in such busy times! We’re already looking forward to seeing everyone again in 2020.”
The BIOFACH and VIVANESS team is very happy with the positive feedback from the advisory board: “Such a great fair, and it’s such a lot of fun to be here.” – “A success in every respect and sensationally good.” – “We’re right at home at BIOFACH, it feels good to attend as a dealer!” – “A great atmosphere and plenty of traffic!” – “The congress has developed really well.” – “Excellent contacts, in the right quality and quantity.” – “The international area was brilliant!” – “The atmosphere at both trade fairs was very, very good, open and future-oriented!”
