Chillventa 2026 to be 15% larger
14th May 2025
GERMANY: The organiser of Chillventa, the European air conditioning, refrigeration and heat pump exhibition, has announced an expansion of the event in 2026 with the addition of a further hall.
Organiser Nurnbergmesse will add hall 1 to what it describes as improved layout at the Nuremberg exhibition venue for Chillventa 2026.
The inclusion of hall 1 to the existing halls 4-9, adds a further 10,800m2 of space, an increase of nearly 15% to 85,930m2.
The main refrigeration product categories in Halls 8 and 9 will remain as in 2024. In 2026, AC, ventilation and heat pump technology will be exhibited in Halls 7 and 7A, which Nurnbergmesse says offers greater display area and more options for companies in these product categories. The refrigeration technology from Hall 7A will mostly be showcased in Hall 4A, while the refrigeration technology from Hall 7 will be accommodated in Halls 1 and 4. The main product categories in Halls 5 and 6 will be swapped over, with C&I technology housed in Hall 6.
As well as creating more space, the changes will close the visitor circuit through the middle entrance (eingang mitte) to the venue, which helps improve navigation and visitor flow.
“Chillventa 2024 was a resounding success and was fully booked,” commented Chillventa director Daniela Heinkel. “The pre-booking phase for 2026 has shown that the original display area does not offer any scope for new exhibitors or larger stands, so we are adding another hall – hall 1. Therefore the new configuration will provide huge growth opportunities in all segments and makes it easier for all participants to navigate the venue.”
The next Chillventa takes place in Nuremberg from 13 to 15 October 2026.
