EVENT REPORT: SPOGA+GAFA 2025 FEATURE


L-R: Rainer Strand, Torsten Gralla, Eva Wildermuth & Clive Daley


plethora of retailers from around the world. It was also great to catch up with Claudia Maurer, spoga+gafa’s director to understand how this event continues to evolve. While exhibitor numbers were down slightly this year on last year, expectation and planning for 2026 was positive and exciting. What we are likely to see from next year is a reduction in halls for the event, however increased intensity which we believe will deliver a more exciting fair, busier halls and of course easier on the feet! Claudia passionately described a move to a more experiential fair that will deliver an emotional connection for all that will attend.


Spoga+gafa is changing, but it continues to deliver in spades.
