UNION FLEURS is ready to kick-off the programme organised for its Pot plant members in Sweden on 19-20 June, in cooperation with our Swedish member BRO. We will welcome a group of 25 pot plant wholesalers and growers from Germany, Denmark and Belgium and will undergo a 2 – day tour of professional visits taking us from Malmö up north all the way to Göteborg.

We will conclude on 20 June afternoon in Malmö with a meeting focused on “ Fostering a more sustainable supply-chain for pot plants: ongoing initiatives and need for European cooperation? (with a focus on plastics & packaging)”. We very much look forward to the contributions from Ecochain, Modiform and FSI to our discussions.

To all the participants to the Union Fleurs Pot plant meeting: Välkommen till Sverige!

Union Fleurs, the International Flower Trade Association, is pleased to announce that the Floriforum will be back by popular demand for a second edition. It will take place on Tuesday 5 November 2019 (14h-17h) at the IFTF Auditorium in Expo Haarlemmermeer, Vijfhuizen, the Netherlands. Focusing this year on customer dynamics, the conversation will aim to explore how the global floriculture supply-chain can adapt and thrive in an environment of shifting paradigms.

On the eve of the opening of  IFTF, the world’s most important trade exhibition for international flower growers and buyers, Union Fleurs – the International Flower Trade Association is organising the Floriforum for the second year in a row, offering a space where the international floriculture industry meets for an open conversation on changes and challenges.

With a shorter and catchier name, the second edition of Floriforum will be powered to be again a truly international event where current and future dynamics in and around the floriculture industry are discussed.

“Global issues for the industry need to be discussed in a global forum & addressed globally”, acknowledged one of the participants to the 2018 Floriforum, where 5 high-level speakers engaged in a conversation with an international audience of 250 attendees from 38 countries on the topics of international trade, logistics and product innovation.

It is at the core of Union Fleurs’ mission as the International Flower Trade Association to create such a global platform to facilitate an exchange of views on the various changes and challenges that the floriculture industry is facing. For the second edition, the focus will be on customer dynamics and the conversation will aim to explore how the global floriculture supply-chain can adapt and thrive in an environment of shifting paradigms.

We believe that moving the industry forward is best done collectively. To stimulate this, we provide forward-thinking professionals from floriculture businesses with an international forum to:

• Stimulate exchange of views and share ideas;
• Challenge the traditional state of play and perspectives on the industry by confronting views on relevant ongoing and future developments either within the industry or at global level;
• And create opportunities for attendees to network with peers as well as (prospective) clients and suppliers.

Don’t miss out! Make sure to mark 5 November 2019 14h-17h in your diary and to join the conversation!

Registration will open in July 2019. More information on the programme and speakers’ line-up will follow. In the meantime, check out our dedicated website www.floriforum.com regularly for updates.

Floriforum is organised by Union Fleurs, the International Flower Trade Association, and sponsored by HPP Exhibitions.
