Due to expanded capacities for the 53th Home fair we have prolonged the deadline for registration until 5 December 2013. The largest civil engineering fair not only in Slovenia but in the wider region is attended by over 50,000 visitors every year. The exhibition programme encompasses everything for a home, from construction and builders’ joinery, heating and cooling systems to interior furnishing, protection of the home and decoration of its surroundings.

The 52th international Home fair ended with great success. The comprehensive exhibition covering all fields of civil engineering occupied all spatial capacities of the GR - Exhibition and Convention Centre plus two additional halls. The fair presented 628 companies from 33 countries. ‘The first responses by exhibitors and visitors show that both are satisfied,’ says Iztok Bricl, MSc, director of GR. ‘The same as in all previous years, the fair was well attended; it is well known how important the quality of living is for Slovenians.

Firsthand advice, all in one spot, an overview of the competition, fair discounts and professional counselling in current green trends are the attributes which confirm this year’s success.

The prize itself is awarded for the second year. This year, however, it is even broader and more comprehensive in its reach; in addition to the selection of the absolute winner, the amended rules enable the selection of winners in individual categories.
