“In the last few months, we have been working extremely hard to be able to offer the industry the best possible platform for knowledge transfer and dialogue in these exceptional times. The huge response has shown us that there is a great need within the sector for a replacement for our customary Chillventa exhibition. Participants can look forward to a high-quality event,” says Petra Wolf from the NürnbergMesse Management Board.
As well as the more than 200 exhibitors, about 5,000 participants have registered in advance for the launch of the Chillventa eSpecial and Chilllventa CONGRESS (13 October). “We are very much looking forward to welcoming the international refrigeration, AC, ventilation and heat pump community, albeit in an unfamiliar digital environment this year. Nevertheless, we are confident that we have organised three exciting days packed with the latest hot topics and a lot of attractive features,” says Daniela Heinkel, Director Chillventa at NürnbergMesse.
Two parallel streams at the Chillventa CONGRESS will include these topics:

Networking made easy
The Chillventa eSpecial aims to transfer as many aspects of a real-life trade fair as possible into the virtual world, and that includes in particular the establishment of new business contacts. Using various communication tools like chat and video calls, staff from the exhibiting companies can contact participants. The outstanding feature of this process is the integrated matchmaking tool. All participants complete a registration process, known as onboarding, which takes the form of a questionnaire. By answering the questions, you define your individual profile and show other participants who you are and what products or solutions you are interested in. Based on this information, the underlying algorithm compares the data with those of all other event participants and then suggests suitable contacts that are a precise match for your requirements.Highlights of Chillventa CONGRESS and programme of presentations
The Chillventa eSpecial will be accompanied by the Chillventa CONGRESS on the first day and by a high-calibre programme of presentations on the second and third days. In numerous presentations, renowned experts from the R&D environment and industrial practice will share their expertise with the global refrigeration, AC, ventilation and heat pump community. The wide range of topics covered includes: the Green Deal, refrigerant transition, the EU’s Covid-19 Recovery Plan, views from the industry around the world, global importance of the cooling chain, transport refrigeration on land and sea, refrigerants for commercial and industrial processes, industrial and commercial applications for the heat pump, and a whole lot more.Two parallel streams at the Chillventa CONGRESS will include these topics:
- 6th Innovation Day Refrigeration Technology (TU Dresden, DKV and IZW) and energy-efficient air conditioning of data centres (DKV)
- Heat Pumping Technologies for Commercial and Industrial Application (IZW) and the ASERCOM + EPEE Symposium
The highlights of the Chillventa CONGRESS include:
