INTERNATIONAL HORTICULTURAL EXPO CONFERENCE
With a mandate agreed by an international convention, AIPH has been approving and regulating international horticultural exhibitions since 1960. Enthusiasm for such Expos has continued to grow, with millions of people visiting Expos hosted in cities all over the world.
Each international horticultural exhibition lasts up to 6 months, with sites ranging from 50 to 500 hectares in size. Each one is carefully regulated, steered and monitored by AIPH. Expo organisers are required to report progress at AIPH meetings, and each Expo sends senior decision-makers, and often city mayors, to these meetings.
Delegates will include AIPH members, Expo organisers, consultants, supply companies, horticultural representatives, and interested city officials from all over the world.
The programme is focused on progress reports from Expos in preparation and applications from new cities as well as time for questions and sharing ideas.
