From 16 to 19 April, Tägi Wettingen will host the region’s largest construction and housing exhibition, the Bauen Wohnen fair, for the 19th time. All signs point to success for this year’s edition, as Tägi explains in a press release. All exhibition spaces are sold out, and visitor numbers are expected to exceed last year’s figure, when 14,000 people attended the fair.

“The fact that the exhibition space is sold out shows that there is a high level of interest in the fair and in the Tägi venue,” says Pascal Schelbert, deputy managing director and head of operations at Tägi. “For us, this is a wonderful confirmation that our infrastructure and flexibility are winning people over. At the same time, it is an incentive to continue developing even recurring events year on year.”

During the event, visitors can look forward to specialist presentations, panel discussions and themed forums featuring experts. By offering insights into current building trends and sustainable housing concepts, the fair aims to provide inspiration as well as serve as a concrete basis for decision-making regarding construction and housing projects. According to a statement from Tägi, the timing of the fair is ideal, as it traditionally marks the start of the spring season – a time when a particularly large number of construction and renovation projects are planned or launched.

The organisation of the fair is also seen as a clear example of the Tägi’s multifunctionality. The leisure, sports and events centre can utilise a wide variety of spaces simultaneously – from large halls for exhibitions to smaller rooms for specialist talks, explains Pascal Schelbert.
