  • Construction and Housing Fair in Wettingen attracts considerable interest

    Construction and Housing Fair in Wettingen attracts considerable interest

    From 16 to 19 April, Tägi Wettingen will host the region’s largest construction and housing exhibition, the Bauen Wohnen fair, for the 19th time. All signs point to success for this year’s edition, as Tägi explains in a press release. All exhibition spaces are sold out, and visitor numbers are expected to exceed last year’s figure, when 14,000 people attended the fair.

    “The fact that the exhibition space is sold out shows that there is a high level of interest in the fair and in the Tägi venue,” says Pascal Schelbert, deputy managing director and head of operations at Tägi. “For us, this is a wonderful confirmation that our infrastructure and flexibility are winning people over. At the same time, it is an incentive to continue developing even recurring events year on year.”

    During the event, visitors can look forward to specialist presentations, panel discussions and themed forums featuring experts. By offering insights into current building trends and sustainable housing concepts, the fair aims to provide inspiration as well as serve as a concrete basis for decision-making regarding construction and housing projects. According to a statement from Tägi, the timing of the fair is ideal, as it traditionally marks the start of the spring season – a time when a particularly large number of construction and renovation projects are planned or launched.

    The organisation of the fair is also seen as a clear example of the Tägi’s multifunctionality. The leisure, sports and events centre can utilise a wide variety of spaces simultaneously – from large halls for exhibitions to smaller rooms for specialist talks, explains Pascal Schelbert.

  • Redesign of the Bauen+Wohnen trade fair in Lucerne for 2024

    Redesign of the Bauen+Wohnen trade fair in Lucerne for 2024

    In the centre of Lucerne, on the shores of Lake Lucerne, the KKL will serve as the venue for the Bauen+Wohnen 2024 trade fair. The KKL designed by Jean Nouvel, which harmoniously combines nature and architecture, symbolises the progressive orientation of the trade fair. This reorientation focuses on a high-quality exhibition with informative specialist presentations and offers the ideal setting for visitors to successfully realise their construction projects.

    The trade fair organisers have responded to feedback from visitors and exhibitors and developed a compact concept that focuses on efficiency and benefits. Exhibitors benefit from optimised logistics and attractive packages that promote customer contact. In addition, Friday will be specially designed for planning, architecture and property management professionals, enabling a valuable exchange of knowledge and networking.

    Marco Biland, trade fair organiser, is delighted with the full booking and the positive response to the new concept. In addition to the exhibition, the programme for the three-day event also includes lectures, advisory services and panel discussions, which offer both experts and the general public important insights and suggestions. The special energy show, organised in collaboration with the canton and city of Lucerne and other partners, will be a key highlight.

    Overall, the Bauen+Wohnen Messe Luzern 2024 represents a significant step towards future-proof and sustainable construction practices and is establishing itself as an indispensable meeting place for the property sector in Central Switzerland.
