- Enforce Tac and IWA OutdoorClassics are the first of 43 trade fairs, congresses and other events on the exhibition calendar for 2022
- NürnbergMesse as a driving force for the economy: Hotels, restaurants and tourism will once again benefit from trade fairs and congresses
The beginning of spring will see NürnbergMesse launch promptly into the 2022 exhibition calendar, with two trade fairs – Enforce Tac on 1-2 March and IWA OutdoorClassics from 3 to 6 March – and about 1,300 exhibitors. That’s later than originally intended on account of Covid-19, but there has been a very positive response from customers. A total of 43 trade fairs, congresses and other events are planned for the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg this year. “All of Nuremberg is looking forward to the international trade fairs and visitors from around Germany and abroad. NürnbergMesse is an important driving force for the economy and employment in our city and the wider region, and it’s finally back in action again!” That’s the comment by Nuremberg mayor Marcus König, who recently took up his position as Chair of the Supervisory Board of NürnbergMesse in rotation. “Our trade fairs in Nuremberg have a huge impact on so many sectors in the city and the wider region. With an annual purchasing power effect of around €2 billion, NürnbergMesse radiates well beyond the Nuremberg metropolitan region,” comments Dr Roland Fleck, CEO NürnbergMesse Group. “Our customers are longing to be able to meet again face to face at in-person events, which is clear from current booking numbers for the exhibition year as a whole. For many events, these are already higher than we expected,” says Peter Ottmann, CEO NürnbergMesse Group.
Trade fairs and congresses
Despite the postponements and cancellations owing to Covid-19 in the first quarter of the year, the exhibition calendar for 2022 is filling up nicely. Starting in March, a total of 43 trade fairs, congresses, and corporate and other events will take place, representing a good mix of in-house, partner and guest events. Enforce Tac and IWA OutdoorClassics will be followed immediately by Freizeit, Touristik & Garten (exhibition for leisure, tourism and gardens, organizer: AFAG Messen und Ausstellungen GmbH, 9 13 March), and IFH/Intherm (organizer: GHM Gesellschaft für Handwerksmessen mbH, 26-29 April). In the merry month of May, the three days from the 10th to the 12th are dominated by the “triplet” of PCIM Europe, SMTconnect (organizer for both: Mesago Messe Frankfurt) and SENSOR+TEST (organizer: AMA Service GmbH). As originally planned, May will also be the time for Interzoo, the World’s Largest International Trade Fair for the Pet Supplies Industry, organized by WZF GmbH (24 27 May). Taking place in June and July for the first time are EUROGUSS (8-10 June), embedded world (21 23 June), FeuerTrutz (29 30 June), HOLZ-HANDWERK and FENSTERBAU FRONTALE (12 15 July), and BIOFACH and VIVANESS (26-29 July). The autumn months in the exhibition calendar include, in September, GaLaBau (14 17 September), and POWTECH and FACHPACK (27 29 September), followed by Insights-X (organizer: Spielwarenmesse eG, 5-7 October), CHILLVENTA (11 13 October), it-sa (25-27 October) and Consumenta (organizer: AFAG, 26-30 October). November is the time for SPS (organizer: Mesago Messe Frankfurt, 8-10 November) and HYDROGEN DIALOGUE (15-16 November). Then the exhibition and event calendar for the year is brought to a close with RETRO CLASSICS BAVARIA (2-4 December), ConSozial (7-8 December), and the exhibition for professional education BERUFSBILDUNG (12-15 December) and, as a special highlight once again, the “Sternstunden Gala” at the Frankenhalle on 16 December, organized by Bayerischer Rundfunk.
