The DIY, Pro & Garden trade fair in Kortrijk, Belgium, attracted almost 3 000 trade visitors this year. After more than ten years in summer or autumn - most recently in September 2022 - it was held in winter again this year on 26 and 27 February 2024. Visitor numbers have remained roughly the same. The number of exhibitors has increased by 6 per cent to 145 compared to 2022, a third of whom are from abroad.
The supporting programme for the 36th edition of this trade fair included a conference attended by the CEOs of the retail companies active in the sector in Belgium. Patrick Vandenbogaerde from Brico, Dominique Motte from Gamma Belgique, Erwin Van Osta from Hubo Belgique, Réginald de Woot from Mr. Bricolage Belgique and André De Groote from Bouwmaterialen De Groote (Gedimat) took the floor.
The next DIY, Pro & Garden will take place a month earlier, on 26 and 27 January 2026 at Kortrijk Expo.
