More visitors and exhibitors at SPACE 2014

The 28th edition of the annual French agricultural trade show surpassed last year’s figures with regard to exhibitors and visitors.

The show, held in Rennes, France, from 16-19 September, attracted 1,427 exhibitors, which was 24 exhibitors up from 2013. Of these, 457 came from abroad, from 36 countries. In total, 207 exhibitors were present for the first time.

In addition, 114,718 visitors made it to Rennes this year, which was a very slight year-on-year increase of 0.1%. The number of international visitors grew by 10% to 13,350 people from 118 countries. The third day was the busiest with over 37,000 people.

The net exhibition area of over 68,000 m² of stands represented 500 m² more than last year.

Next year, the show will be held 15 through 18 September.
