Months before the trade fair begins, Chillventa is already on a positive trajectory: At this stage, the display area booked is larger than at the 2024 event. Preparations for the Call for Presentations for the Chillventa CONGRESS and forums are nearing completion, and the Call for Presentations will be published online soon. Chillventa is reaffirming its role as an international platform dedicated to professional knowledge-sharing, technical innovation, and building a strong network within the refrigeration, AC, ventilation and heat pump community.
The addition of Hall 1 will result in a larger exhibition space as of 2026. The focus topics for the event remains unchanged, while the new hall will provide more space for growth across all segments, i.e., refrigeration, air conditioning, ventilation, heat pumps, or C&I technology. As Daniela Heinkel, Director of Chillventa, points out: “The response from exhibitors has been excellent and is reflected in the substantial number of registrations that demonstrate the industry’s commitment. Chillventa is a byword for first-hand knowledge acquisition, dialogue among peers, and international networking – Chillventa Connecting Experts – and we are already looking forward to experiencing all that on site again in October along with our customers.”
Specialist forums and congress: Call for Presentations soon online
The Chillventa CONGRESS and specialist forums on refrigeration, AC, ventilation, heat pumps, applications, education and regulations deliver professional expertise in a concise format – by and for the international community. The focus is on knowledge transfer and professional dialogue. Content planning is already in full swing. With the Call for Presentations, industry specialists can once again submit proposals for talks on the latest developments, best practices and technological trends and introduce themselves and their projects to the Chillventa community. The broad range of topics traditionally includes refrigeration technology and efficiency solutions, but also covers regulatory issues, digitalisation, sustainability, and new business models.
Chillventa Global Network in China and Thailand
A major boost is the new joint venture between NürnbergMesse and Fima in Hangzhou. The establishment of NürnbergMesse Fima Exhibition Co., Ltd. provides a strategic bridge between Europe, China, and South-East Asia. At its core is the Chillventa Global Network, which, in combination with RACC China and the new RACC ASEAN in Thailand, connects important growth markets in the HVAC&R sector.
