| No way round GaLaBau  The 18th GaLaBau exhibition takes place in Nuremberg from 17-20 September, when landscape gardeners, local authorities, planners and architects can source information about new products in the green sector at this four-day event. The International Trade Fair for Urban Green and Open Spaces does credit to its name with 950 exhibitors expected from 25 nations. The products on display range from construction and maintenance machinery and equipment, materials, components and plants to urban design and transport. Also present with separate presentations at GaLaBau are the playground equipment manufacturers in the Playground segment and the golf sector with the first "German Golf Course Conference".Some 25 per cent of the exhibiting companies offer construction machinery and equipment and another quarter maintenance machinery and equipment, which means half the products come from the machinery segment. From this year on, the leading exhibition for landscaping is the new platform for the construction, maintenance and management of golf courses. The "Golf Village" is the central get-together for this target group, as the major German golf associations present their services here on an attractive and appropriately designed communication area. Companies specializing in golf course construction, maintenance and management prove their expertise in the surroundings of the "Golf Village". The "German Golf Course Conference" is supplemented by companies firmly established in the relevant GaLaBau product segments for many years, e.g. landscape maintenance. Short presentations and platform discussions in the "Golf Village" examine the subject from many different aspects. All Germany's leading golf associations are involved in the "Golf Congress 2008", which takes place in CCN Ost in the Congress Center Nürnberg on 17-18 September. The varied two-day programme presents many lectures on topical issues from the golf sector. The playground equipment manufacturers have always been an important and numerically large group of exhibitors at GaLaBau. After all, the playground and landscaping sectors have a lot to do with each other, as hardly a park exists without at least one playground. And those who plan and design the park also determine the playground equipment. GaLaBau 2008 shows a bigger spectrum of playground equipment and leisure facilities than ever. The products on display are especially intended for architects, planners, local authorities, housing development companies, hotels, leisure parks, camping sites or nursery schools. The focus is no longer just on the young public, but more effort than ever is being put into multi-generation concepts. The new Playground segment with its special show on "Multi-generation Playgrounds" presents new future-orientated aspects of this issue. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
