The plan is to thrill people – now and in the future

Construction is under way here. Modernisation. Investment. “Koelnmesse 3.0” is the most comprehensive future project of all time for the trade fair grounds in Cologne. Around 700 million euro will be invested in the quality of stay and events by 2034, whether in existing structures or in new halls with new possibilities.

Confex – the new multi-talent

Flexibility, attractiveness and eventization are the emerging requirements for innovative event formats. The fusion of conference and exhibition, the staging of topics through a more compelling variety of experiences, the digital presentation of hybrid trade fairs through the use of sophisticated media technology and modern IT infrastructure: That is what Confex is all about! On 21 November 2021 we were able to celebrate topping out ceremony.
