The International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH) is pleased to announce that We Lodge, an accommodation provider for major events, has joined as Gold Sponsor for the upcoming AIPH International Horticultural Expo Conference. Taking place in Ghent, Belgium, the Conference will welcome Expo organisers, city officials, event providers, and key stakeholders on 15th September 2025.

The Conference forms part of the programme for the 77th AIPH Annual Congress, which will take place from 14th-18th September 2025 in Belgium. Attendees will receive updates on forthcoming AIPH-approved Expos, including the much-anticipated Green Expo 2027 Yokohama in Japan and Expo 2029 Korat (Nakhon Ratchasima) in Thailand.

Tim Briercliffe, AIPH Secretary General, commented: “We are delighted to welcome We Lodge as a sponsor for the upcoming AIPH International Horticultural Expo Conference. Their innovative approach to sustainable accommodation resonates strongly with our vision for the future of Horticultural Expos. We believe this collaboration will bring significant value to our attendees and further our shared goals for a greener, more sustainable world.”

We Lodge specialises in securing sustainable accommodation solutions for major events worldwide. Currently, they are supporting staff and guests of more than a dozen pavilions at EXPO 2025 Osaka, whilst also preparing accommodation for the upcoming COP30 in Belem, Brazil, and the 2026 Winter Games in Italy.

“We Lodge is proud to support AIPH and its dedicated event organisers by providing tailor-made housing solutions for exhibitors and other participants,” said Volki Bauer, CEO of We Lodge AG. “Our commitment to innovation and sustainability is reflected in every project we undertake—whether it’s designing eco-conscious accommodations for global exhibitions or supporting BIE member countries at EXPO 2025 Osaka. Partnering with AIPH allows us to extend that vision into the horticultural world, where green thinking and smart infrastructure go hand in hand.”

The AIPH International Horticultural Expo Conference promises to be an insightful and impactful event, fostering collaboration and innovation within the horticultural sector. AIPH looks forward to a successful partnership with We Lodge and to delivering a memorable experience for all attendees.
