Imm Cologne 2026 gets a makeover: new concept and focus on B2B

From January 20 to 23, 2026, Imm Cologne will return with a completely revamped concept. The premiere of the event will be held in Halls 5, 6 and 10, with a new space layout already defined. Booth sales are underway and, according to Koelnmesse, the fair’s new direction is “gaining great acceptance” among industry players.

With a participation price of 100 euros per square meter, Imm Cologne is offering competitive conditions, aiming to ensure a calculable and efficient trade fair presence. Planning for exhibition space will kick off in mid-April 2025, allowing exhibitors to secure the best positions.

The goal of the event is to strengthen Germany’s role as a key market for the furniture industry. “Imm Cologne is and remains the launch of the furniture year. The new concept is based on a purely B2B-focused platform, putting the consumer-oriented furniture segment at the center. With favorable participation conditions, we are creating optimal opportunities for exhibitors and visitors,” said director Bernd Sanden.
