Online platform Thursd will hold an international online trade fair from October 1 to 14. Due to COVID-19, most traditional trade fairs have been cancelled. The Thursd Online Trade Fair makes it possible for floricultural companies to, nonetheless, draw people’s attention to their products and services. We expect there will be lots to see for florists!
#TOTF2020
The Thursd Online Trade Fair (#TOTF2020) is an online-only exhibition, but will function quite similar to a physical trade fair. Exhibitors choose an online ‘booth’ on the homepage of the Thursd website. The booth will link to their own webpage on Thursd, on which they profile their company, products and services.
As Florint and Thursd are exploring a partnership, the International Florist Organisation will also have a booth at TOTF2020. We will use the space to highlight our member associations and our added-value activities on behalf of the professional florist.
