GaLaBau 2016: Optimally preparing the fair visit

From 14 to 17 September 2016, GaLaBau, International Trade Fair for Urban Green and Open Spaces, will already be opening for the 22nd time at the exhibition centre Nuremberg. Over 1,400 exhibitors are coming together with more than 67,000 trade visitors – in 13 exhibition halls, the Messepark (Exhibition Park) as well as in the outdoor special presentation areas. For four days, international companies will be presenting the complete range covering the planning, construction and care of gardens, parks and green facilities. NürnbergMesse is offering trade visitors various services to ensure optimum planning of their business trip to Nuremberg.

Visitors can optimally prepare for the fair by going to the www.galabau-messe.com Internet page (available in German and English) with its good overview and clearly structured content. Be it information on the fair and the supporting program, travelling to the fair, accommodation or restaurants and catering: everything is easy to find. Tips on the city's sights and attractions or after-work locations are also included. The website has been programmed using so-called "responsive web design". This creative and technical concept for programming websites enables the creation of flexible layouts, which automatically adapt to the various screen sizes of the end-devices used. As a result, users are guaranteed a lot of fun when surfing on their smart phones, tablets & co.
