According to the organiser, the Wigor Agency, Zoo-Botanica is the most important zoological-botanical trade event in Poland. This dynamically developing fair and exhibition dating back ten years creates a unique venue for meetings, for an exchange of experience between professionals and hobbyists, and for presenting new trends and products as well as for direct contact with customers, say the organisers. The 10th jubilee edition of Zoo-Botanica attracted almost 160 exhibitors, among them leading Polish companies, and over 15 000 visitors. “Effective business tool” The organisers are expecting to welcome the most important Polish companies, associations and fans of flora and fauna to the Centennial Hall in Wrocław this year too. “Zoo Botanica is an effective business tool that makes it possible to reach new contractors and customers with interest in this particular field,” they assert, referring also to the extensive range of multi-channel advertising campaigns and the professional customer service. An accompanying programme of events offers visitors many interesting and educational features, including a veterinary panel, promotions of nutrition and care products for pets, lectures and seminars by professionals for professionals and numerous attractions and contests.
