Dutch term or phrase: ruimte

Hi all, I am proofreading a marketing piece and cannot seem to find the right equivalent (in this context) for "ruimte".

Full sentence reads; Veel aandacht is er ook voor innovaties op het Event. Nieuw in 2005 zijn de specials ‘lifestyle’, ‘vrije tijd & ontspanning’ en ‘mannen’. Hiermee is er op het evenement *ruimte* voor gadgets en accessoires, reizen en cultuur, en voor nieuwe producten gericht op de man! Ook de verkiezing van het meest innovatieve product krijgt in 2005 een vervolg.

Inspiration anyone?

MTIA,
Iris

Space was the one that was used in the translation but somehow didn't feel "right" to me. Room could have been another option but I prefer this one. Thanks everyone :-)
