The International Animal Production Show Carrefour Européen (SPACE) was created in 1987, based on the observation of a real need in the west of France for a major event dedicated to agriculture: the discovery of the Utrecht livestock show in the Netherlands, the eternal success of the Agricultural Show, pushed the organizers to embark on the adventure, and the first edition took place in September 1987. Although this edition was a success with more than 30,000 visitors in three days, which is remarkable for a first edition, the organizers noted that these visitors were 80% visitors from the department, the CE (Carrefour Européen) was missing from the SPA! Over the years, the organization has evolved, SPACE is organized during the week rather than the weekend and is more geared towards professionals: today, SPACE is the second largest global event for livestock sectors: a showcase for the latest technologies applied to livestock farming, each edition is spiced up with animal competitions, a real highlight of the show. The international dimension is accentuated year after year with the development of a rich network of correspondents abroad, particularly in Africa, the agricultural world if ever there was one! Today, there are 1,500 exhibitors, more than 30% of whom are foreign ; Exhibitors present for such an important event will be keen to have a stand that stands out from the others, by presenting their innovations and technologies with the rental of large screens with a guaranteed wow effect, an interactive LED floor screen, a touch terminal from their partner A-Loc Audiovisuel.
