Fleuroselect is pleased to invite you to join the debate at its annual Breeders and Young Plant Producers Conference that will take place on 2nd and 3rd December 2014 at the Relexa Airport Hotel in Ratingen (near Düsseldorf), Germany.
Ton Visser of Visser Horti Systems will look at New Ways for Green Cities, Jaap Kras of Floraculture International will discuss Business Developments needed to meet the changes in the industry. Gideon de Jager of Codema will talk about the Future in the Greenhouse and Bram Hanemaaijer of Agro AdviesBuro will review Sustainable Energy for Floriculture Breeders and Young Plant Raisers.
Government legislation and NGO's influence on consumers affect the future of the business. The conference will therefore address two critical subjects currently facing both breeding and production: the use of Neonicotinoids and the consequences of the Nagoya Protocol.

To accompany these topics, Edgar Krieger will lead a discussion on IP based on Ciopora's recent position paper and Thomas Leidereiter of Green Rights will look at how other industries are tackling IP issues.

Keynote Speaker is Richard van Hooijdonk. Richard has a track record of inspirational talks for the Dutch RTL masterclass, Radio 1, BNR, Nyenrode and Erasmus University, and will look at how the industry can become more in touch with our customers of the future; the consumer 3.0.
New media and new techniques drastically change the way companies communicate: social media, mobile, digital, interactive websites, storytelling, content and big data. Richard informs on modern tools to really connect with the consumer.

Around the programme is ample opportunity for networking with industry colleagues.

NEW LOCATION!!
We have changed the location to a more modern conference hotel Relexa Airport Düsseldorf-Ratingen which is still conveniently situated near to the Airport Düsseldorf (DUS) in Ratingen. The hotel offers free wireless LAN (t-mobile hotspot), a garage and ample parking spaces in front of the hotel.
