Chillventa 2026 set to break records

GERMANY: This October’s Chillventa exhibition in Nuremberg is set to be the largest ever with 1095 exhibitors currently booked.

At the time of writing and with two months to go before the show opens, the exhibition’s website lists 1095 exhibitors, a significant increase on the 1010 exhibitors in 2024, and beating the previous record in 2018 of 1,019 exhibitors.

The increase has been made possible by last year’s decision by the organiser to add hall 1 at the NürnbergMesse to the existing halls 4-9. This increased the available space to 85,930m2.

Chillventa 2026 takes place from 13-15 October.
