In response to exhibitor demand we decided to concentrate the Jaspowa & Fischerei & Off-Road 2009 over a three day period, instead of the original four, announced Gernot Blaikner, Head of Group Exhibitions for the organisers, Reed Exhibitions Messe Wien. Taking place once every two years, the Jaspowa & Fishery & Off-Road in Vienna has continuously grown over the past few years.
