Chillventa bounces back

GERMANY: Chillventa 2024 looks set to bounce back to its pre-covid best, with the exhibition organiser’s website now showing just short of 1,000 exhibitors booked for the show in October.

While Chillventa, like other industry events, suffered as a result of the covid lockdown, with two months to go this year’s show records bookings from 996 exhibitors, an 18% increase on the last Chillventa in 2022 and close to the best-ever turnout of 1,019 in 2018. 

Chillventa is regarded as the leading international exhibition focused solely on the refrigeration, air conditioning, ventilation and heat pump sectors. 

Tickets for the show in Nuremberg from October 8-10 are now available exclusively online. A ticket for the full three days of the show are priced at €45.00. Alternatively, a 1-day ticket is available at €30.00.
