Strong interest in Chillventa 2014

Chillventa 2012

GERMANY: Chillventa 2014, taking place in October in Nuremberg, is already booked to 90% of the 2012 event, the organiser reports.

The leading biennial international exhibition for the air conditioning and refrigeration industry takes place in Nuremberg from October 14-16. It is preceded by Chillventa Congressing, a day of highly-relevant seminars, on Monday, October 13.

“Now that so many have already made binding bookings for their stand space, we assume that the number of exhibitors will at least reach the level of the previous event,” said Alexander Stein, NürnbergMesse exhibitions director. Around 60% of the bookings so far are from non-German companies.

Chillventa 2012 featured a record 914 exhibitors from 43 countries, 28,462 trade visitors and 200 congress participants.
