The Positive Impact of Expo Flor Ecuador
In 2018 and 2022, the whole team behind the event shared unforgettable experiences with colleagues and friends, and now, as this year's edition rapidly approaches, everyone is very excited to reconnect and forge new connections. This said, back in 2022 attendees and visitors were very satisfied with what they lived and experienced during those days.
Expo Flor Ecuador's President, Alejandro Martinez expressed his joy and happiness to have everyone together again after the pandemic brought down many businesses and events. He said:
"What a fantastic feeling to be here with all of you inaugurating this event once again. It's amazing to see everyone's faces, ready to live an enriching experience."
The Mayor of Quito back in 2022, Santiago Guarderas also expressed his excitement:
"Quito has an additional reputation beyond its title as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site. It is also known as the city of the most beautiful roses and other varieties of flowers."
Expo Flor Ecuador is the meeting point for producers of the finest sustainable flowers and entrepreneurs who value the outstanding quality and unique beauty of Ecuadorian flowers. Hands are already in action to get everything ready to see you again this October at the Metropolitan Convention Center in Quito, where over 110 exhibitors will showcase the best in floriculture, promising an exhibition larger, brighter, and bolder than ever before.
On the other hand, exhibitors have always had a great experience in October when this event was held. Rodrigo Leiva, from Esmeralda Farms, shared his input on what the 2022 edition was like for him:
"We have a long history with Expo Flor Ecuador but this year has been extraordinary with visits and attendees worldwide. Since we focus on global mass markets, it has truly been a worthy and spectacular opportunity for us."
It is a great opportunity to network and make connections personally and professionally and gives space to explore and see emerging, trending, and new flower varieties in the markets. Diane Mugeni, Country Manager Ecuador for Holland's Van Vliet Flower Group mentioned how much she enjoyed the last version of the fair by saying:
"There are many new varieties and new flower trends, and everyone was excited to be there. After COVID, this is the first time we meet again, and we can all share the joy for the most beautiful industry."
Lastly, Juan Jose Albuja of Flodecol Ecuador mentioned more about his experience as an exhibitor and why you should attend this year's fair:
"Expo Flor Ecuador for me is one of the best fairs in the world when it comes to the flower industry because the quality of the stands, the flowers, and the visitors we have are remarkable to make this event what it is."
