Lifestyle evenement About Cats & Dogs stopt

Utrecht, 29 juli 2024 – About Cats & Dogs was twee jaar hét lifestyle evenement voor honden- en kattenliefhebbers in Koninklijke Jaarbeurs. Na twee edities maakt Jaarbeurs bekend te stoppen met de organisatie van het evenement. 

About Cats & Dogs werd in 2022 voor het eerst georganiseerd. Destijds inspelend op een grote behoefte om honden- en kattenliefhebbers te voorzien in informatie over onder andere voeding, gedrag, verzorging en dierenwelzijn. 

Herman Mantel, CCO Koninklijke Jaarbeurs: “Na twee edities is het moment aangebroken om dit concept los te laten. Ondanks de goede opzet en enthousiaste bezoekers zien we te weinig animo in de markt om het event na de lancering verder te laten groeien. Wij bedanken alle bezoekers, exposanten en partners en alle andere betrokkenen voor twee hele mooie edities.”

Future Facade: new European trade event for the facade industry at Royal Jaarbeurs

Royal Jaarbeurs has announced a new biennial trade event in spring 2025 for the European facade industry: Future Facade. The quest to achieve a circular facade industry requires international knowledge sharing and cooperation. Complementing an existing portfolio of trade fairs in the building sector that includes BouwBeurs, VSK and DigiBouw, Royal Jaarbeurs is launching this new event in partnership with the European Facade Network (EFN), TU Delft and TU Darmstadt. Future Facade will bridge the gap between knowledge and practice, with themes such as digitalisation, industrialisation and circularity taking centre stage. TU Delft, TU Darmstadt and EFN will also organise an international conference on the topic of circularity in the facade industry to run simultaneously with the trade fair.
