The 2026 round of Chillventa, the world’s leading fair for refrigeration technology, will feature a new hall configuration. An extra hall will be added to increase the available display area. From 13 to 15 October 2026, specialists from all around the world will find an even larger product range and improved layout at the Nuremberg exhibition venue. Consequently, the trade fair is once again underlining its position as the key platform for the international refrigeration, AC, ventilation and heat pump sector and continues to evolve as a unique and high calibre gathering of experts.
Chillventa 2024 impressed the community across the board. Exhibitors and trade visitors alike reported outstanding outcomes from the event, as the show report emphatically underlines. As Daniela Heinkel, Director Chillventa, explains: “Chillventa 2024 was a resounding success and was fully booked. 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. Therefor the new configuration will provide huge growth opportunities in all segments and makes it easier for all participants to navigate the venue. We are delighted to be developing Chillventa to meet the preferences of our community and reinforcing it as a platform for innovation, dialogue and networking.
What’s staying, what’s changing?
The main refrigeration product categories in Halls 8 and 9 will be akin to 2024. In future, AC, ventilation and heat pump technology will be exhibited in Halls 7 and 7A, which offer 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. Which will therefore be the main link between the product segments refrigeration, AC and ventilation technology. These changes will create more space for diversity and innovations. Hall 1 will also close the visitor circuit through the entrance Eingang Mitte, which helps improve navigation and visitor flow.
