  • The flooring industry meets again

    The flooring industry meets again

    National and international exhibitors show their products, services, innovations and trends on the topic of flooring in a practical way. In this way, trade visitors can find information and inspiration personally on site and ultimately the right partners for future projects. An attractive supporting program with the BodenFORUM completes the trade fair. In the BodenFORUM, industry experts impart the latest specialist knowledge for architecture, interior design and craftsmanship. Keynote speakers will shed light on the latest focus topics in the industry and exhibitors will present their most exciting solutions to match.

    Important industry meeting point
    “For known reasons, we had to wait a long time to be able to hold the trade fair. We can finally make this meeting place possible for the flooring industry again," stresses exhibition manager Ursula Gerber. She is particularly pleased about this, because there is a great need for an industry meeting place where people can exchange ideas personally. Ursula Gerber explains: "Due to the effects of the pandemic, personal contact has only been possible to a limited extent in the past two years. This showed how important this is for successful construction projects and business initiations.»

    supplemented by digital channels
    The Suisse Floor has been further developed since the last event in order to position it in the digital age. "We're focusing even more on the exhibitors and their skills," says the trade fair manager. And not only on the Suisse Floor itself, but also before and after on the new digital channels. "Our exhibitors gain attention from the target audience, reach new customers and more visitors at their stand," she explains. Visitors can already find new and exciting products or solutions on the trade fair website, which will then be presented on the Suisse Floor.

  • Successful conference on business promotion

    Successful conference on business promotion

    Due to the corona situation, the first SVSM dialogue for business development did not take place as a hybrid event as planned, but as a purely virtual event. The event conveyed specialist knowledge and networked location managers, business developers, real estate experts, room planners and other interested parties. The speakers presented impressive practical examples from a wide variety of regions – from Montreux to Uri to St. Gallen – and also reported on challenges, organizational issues and experiences in the spirit of best practice. The participants received valuable input for their daily work. Thanks to dedicated question and answer sessions and a panel discussion, professionally moderated by SVSM board member Markus Müller, the professional exchange of experience and networking were not neglected.

    Interaction between economy and tourism
    Stefan Büeler, Head of the Office for Economic Affairs and Public Transport in the Canton of Uri, demonstrated the approaches to economic development in Uri based on current projects such as tourism development in Andermatt, the Gotthard base tunnel or educational and research institutes. He also discussed which procedures and organizational forms have proven themselves in practice and which challenges need to be mastered in everyday life. Samuel Zuberbühler, head of location promotion for the city of St. Gallen, gave an insight into the "Sankt ohne Senf" campaign, with which the city in eastern Switzerland is marketing itself and residents, homesick St. Gallen and “newcomers” in a target group-oriented way. He impressively demonstrated how closely business, location promotion and tourism are related. This was also confirmed by Bernard Schmid, Managing Director of Promove. Schmid provided a glimpse of the working methods, structure and current issues of an economic development organization in French-speaking Switzerland: The Promove association aims to promote the economy in the Riviera-Lavaux region on the Swiss shore of Lake Geneva and connects authorities, business and tourism. The cooperation between the various areas, some of which are also organizationally linked, is correspondingly close. Schmid showed how this works in practice using the "Dolce Riviera" project, which was launched in 2020 and aims to integrate the entire tourism value chain in the Montreux Riviera destination.

    The start of the new series of events was a success: The consistently positive feedback from the participants on the presentations shows that the SVSM is on the right track with the new event format. The next SVSM dialogue is already being planned, this time with a focus on location management. Make a note of the date – more information will follow:
    SVSM dialogue location management: Thursday, March 31, 2022, 3 p.m. to 7 p.m
