The GTC: a green hotspot
With 25,000 m² and more than 9,000 different products, the Waterdrinker Green Trade Center in Aalsmeer is the place to be for green resellers. During the GTC Days, the buying and inspiration centre will be transformed into a place, where customers can benefit from competitive deals and surprising trade.
Orchids in the spotlight
In collaboration with Orchid Netherlands, ‘the queen of plants’ will be given a platform of honour. "The orchid is making a comeback and is increasingly seen by influencers as trendy and contemporary, ’ said Waterdrinker. Floral artists Florian Seyd and Ueli Signer of The Wunderkammer will transform the entrance hall into an impressive orchid experience.
Exclusive novelties and market introductions
In addition, Waterdrinker will present various novelties, specialties and (future) market introductions in cooperation with growers and breeders. The Our Future Plant selection offers customers a glimpse of promising varieties that will be available soon.
Inspiring workshop and networking opportunities
Waterdrinker is committed to connecting. During meet & greets, visitors can interact directly with growers and other industry professionals. Also, in cooperation with VBW and Orchid Netherlands, a social media workshop for florists will be organised. This workshop will offer insights into how florists can increase their online visibility and expand their customer base. Prior to the workshop, European floral design champion Hanneke Frankema will give a demo where she will demonstrate various techniques.
International visitors
The November edition of the GTC Days attracts an international audience every year, partly thanks to the simultaneous Trade Fair Aalsmeer. For customers and visitors, Waterdrinker offers a free shuttle service so that both fairs can be easily combined.
Date: Sunday 3 November to Friday 8 November
Location: Green Trade Center, Sierteeltstraat 129, Aalsmeer
