Registration is now open for visitors and exhibitors at the Landscape Istanbul Fair 2025 (LIF 2025), which returns for its fourth edition at the Istanbul Expo Center from 8 to 11 October.

As one of the fastest-growing international trade events in the green sector in Türkiye and officially endorsed by the International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH), it brings together exhibitors and visitors from around the world for four days of impactful business, networking, and innovation.

This year’s event is set to welcome professional visitors from over 50 countries, including landscape architects, developers, municipal authorities, urban planners, and green infrastructure investors. With its strong B2B focus and targeted international buyer programme, LIF 2025 offers exhibitors a direct route to new markets, export growth, and strategic partnerships across Europe, the Gulf, Central Asia, and North Africa. From ornamental plants and nursery stock to outdoor design, infrastructure, and green technology, exhibitors will engage face-to-face with qualified trade professionals actively sourcing sustainable solutions.

Spotlight on Public Space Innovation: WUP Symposium Returns

Now in its third year as part of the LIF programme, the World Urban Parks (WUP) Symposium will once again offer a global stage for ideas shaping the future of parks and public spaces. Marking the 10th anniversary of World Urban Parks, the 2025 edition will be organised around the theme NEXT—Nature, Equity, Experience, and Thoughtful Resource Management.

Participants will explore urgent urban challenges and innovative models of green infrastructure, with sessions on nature-based climate solutions, inclusive design, digital placemaking, and circular water management.

Abstract submissions are now open, and organisers invite contributions from urban designers, landscape architects, municipal leaders, academics, and community organisers worldwide. Potential speakers are invited to submit their proposals before 20th July.

To better understand the spirit of the event, prospective contributors can view selected sessions from WUP2024 on YouTube, offering valuable insights into the global discourse that continues in Istanbul this October.

Bringing together business opportunity and public space innovation, Landscape Istanbul Fair 2025 is where green sector professionals connect, grow, and shape the cities of tomorrow.
