SPECIAL DAYS - summary of the event
The SPECIAL DAYS fair held on 26-28 February 2015 attracted a large group of entrepreneurs involved in the floristry and decorative industry. The participants could both get familiar with product novelties and take part in numerous shows and training courses.
The last edition of SPECIAL DAYS gathered more than 70 companies and brands presenting Christmas, occasional and floristry decorations. The first two days were addressed to professionals for whom we organised meetings with experts in the field of Visual Merchandising, marketing and sales. Floristry shows and gift wrapping presentations aroused great interest among visitors. On the last day, other visitors came to the fairgrounds and were provided with an opportunity to buy novelties at attractive prices. In total, for the entire duration of SPECIAL DAYS and GARDENIA 2015, the exhibitions were visited by 26 239 people.
The audience around the scene could get familiar with unique flower arranging techniques and the latest trends in creating flower arrangements. Sekunda&Sieradzan i Przyjaciele floristry show was a special event at SPECIAL DAYS, where the Floristry Masters created surprising compositions presented by models on the catwalk. During the show one could see the works of Piotr Sekunda, Zygmunt Sieradzan, Małgorzata Szymioł, Monika Bębenek, Magdalena Birula-Białynicka, Katarzyna Cepa and Katarzyna Kluba. In total, the masters showed 60 creations - including a dress made entirely from plants.
