The IPM Germany, the International Plant Fair, is the world's leading trade fair of horticulture. It is the only exhibition of its kind, that reflects the entire value chain from the plant growing on the floristics, technology and equipment up to the point of sale. Here the entire international horticultural industry is gathering and shows the complete flower and plant diversity. Furthermore floristry highlights and the latest technological trends are presented to the visitors, too. In addition to current information about facilities and services in the field of horticulture, visitors can expect a comprehensive framework program. Top florists show design and production ideas, plant nurseries and gardeners present their most recent cultivars, young companies introduce themselves and looking for their access into the market. In the horticultural forum current economic situations and market opportunities are elicited and discussed with renowned experts. On the day of training pupils will be informed about the industry-related occupations and a job market for the international garden sector provides qualified personnel the chance of a new and interesting challenge. All this will be offered by the annually in Essen held IPM Germany, making it a must-have for every professional of the industry.
