Trade shows LANDSCAPE and SOLEX partner for second year

LANDSCAPE – The Industry Trade Show, LOFA- The Leisure and Outdoor Furniture Association, and SOLEX - The Summer Outdoor Living Exhibition are teaming up to champion the outdoor industry and promote the benefits of in-person connection.

With just a few weeks until SOLEX returns at the NEC and a few months ahead of LANDSCAPE, garden retailers are being reminded of the huge benefits of attending the events now that the pandemic is officially over.

With a combined 68 years of experience, LANDSCAPE, LOFA and SOLEX know the value of collaboration and connection. This year alone, LANDSCAPE hosted over 40 CPD accredited seminars and other learning opportunities to advocate a supportive community that shares knowledge and grows together.

Both LANDSCAPE and SOLEX pride themselves on creating a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, whilst working to promote the newest and most innovative products and ideas within the outdoor industry.

Part of the partnership sees a feature stand area at each event. LANDSCAPE will create a garden display space with exhibitors at SOLEX 2023 and, likewise, LOFA will build a LOFA Lounge with members at LANDSCAPE 2023. The LOFA Lounge and LANDSCAPE Show Garden each aim to highlight the vast array of companies to discover and things you can gain from trade shows and membership hubs that are tailored to you and your business.

LANDSCAPE is constantly working to best serve the industry that they represent and delight in finding collaborative partners who share similar visions with a principled outlook. The LANDSCAPE team, for example, have recently banned artificial grass suppliers from their show, which has been met with great support and they continue to adapt in order to best serve the landscaping field. SOLEX also prides itself on being organised by the industry for the industry, having best interests at heart. While each show represents different areas and buying processes within the outdoor market, there is lots to share, and the events are keen to support each other moving forward. LANDSCAPE has over 100 media and trade association partners globally, making them a key platform to network, learn and be inspired. LANDSCAPE’s delegates are involved in some of the most prestigious and valuable projects across the UK and beyond, so come and visit the LANDSCAPE 2023 Show Garden at SOLEX to get a taste of their 2023 Show!

Both events are held at the NEC, Birmingham with SOLEX on the Monday 10 July – Wednesday 12 of July, and LANDSCAPE on the 27th - 28th of September 2023.
