After two colorful days, the IFTF is coming to an end. At 5pm, the Expo Greater Amsterdam will close its doors, concluding the 14th edition of the IFTF. How was the show? So far, the exhibitors are pleased. Traditionally, the show is attracting visitors from all over the world. Striking this year is the increased number of visitors from the US. Once again, it was a real buyer-grower exhibition.
This year, it is the first time that the show is held from Tuesday till Thursday instead of Wednesday till Friday. Whether this shift will positively impact the visitor numbers has to be seen. However, there are high expectation because it's a trend that you see at many exhibitions in many countries.
FloralDaily is also exhibiting at the show, handing out their free Greenhouse Guide. And of course, our editors are present, taking pictures for their traditional photo report and looking for the latest news.
