High influx of participants at GrootGroenPlus requires some creative planning
Although it was not entirely unexpected, the huge influx of participants for the 34th edition of trade fair GrootGroenPlus came very rapidly. By mid-June, the number of registrations was already higher than in previous years, so we promptly communicated this. We also personally updated regular participants about the limited number of available spots, and as early as 22 June, we had to start placing registrations on hold, due to limited space.
We are currently busy mapping out the floor plan. Many participants have already been assigned a spot, but we also have many participants to go. We are doing our best to find an optimal arrangement, so that we can provide spots for as many (international) registrants as possible.
To limit the number of registrants we have to disappoint, we are looking at ways to expand the trade fair. Consequently, completing the floor plan will take a bit longer. This means that you will have to wait a bit longer for the final confirmation of your spot at GrootGroenPlus in Zundert, on 2 - 4 October. In the coming week, you will see some letters appearing on the participant list, which shows your preliminary placement in the route. We will provide you with more information as soon as possible, and appreciate your understanding. After all... more participants mean more visitors, and this will allow us all to create the most extensive and interesting assortment in one place.
