World Floral Expo moves to Chicago


Rosemont/Chicago, Illinois, USA
January 15, 2014

World Floral Expo 2014 has landed at Chicago O‘Hare Airport and has found an excellent location at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont. Just a 10 minutes ride from O’Hare international airport and only 45 minutes away from downtown Chicago. After stops in New York, Miami, and again in New York, it is now the turn for Chicago to host this very international flower trade show with exhibitors from all major flower producing countries.

Flower growers from Ecuador, Colombia, Kenya and Ethiopia, to name a few, will be displaying fresh cut flowers, ready for immediate shipping, both through individual stands as well country pavilions. This will be the first time that a flower trade show will be organised in Chicago with such an international participation of flower growers. The show is meant for anybody who is involved in the trade of fresh cut flowers. HPP Exhibitions, a Dutch (Amsterdam) based specialized flower trade show organizer, is excited about the choice of Chicago. “Chicago is one of America’s biggest cities and one of the largest consumers of flowers and plants and therefore a logical move”, according to World Floral Expo’s show director Dick van Raamsdonk.

The show will also host flower design demonstrations during the 3 day trade event. For this purpose the organizers will fly in 6 master flower designers from Holland who will show the latest trends in flower designing. Furthermore a panel discussion will take place on “changing fresh flower distribution channels”. Entry to World Floral Expo and to the floral demonstrations is free of charge.
