International trade fair calendar

The fairs in your sector by date and country, and which part of preparing for each one is already a rush.

A fair calendar that only gives dates is no use to a first-timer, because the problem is never knowing when it is: it is finding out in March that the translated catalogue had to be commissioned in December and that the good floor space was booked in the summer. So alongside the dates there is the countdown: pick a fair and it tells you which parts of preparing for it still fit comfortably and which are now done in a hurry and at a higher price.

Official site · Mondial du Bâtiment (Batimat, Idéobain e Interclima) ↗

Only fairs that have not happened yet and that have a published page appear: a list padded with past fairs takes up room and helps nobody decide. The preparation lead times are the ones commonly used in the trade, not a rule: every fair has its own booking calendar, registration deadlines and tiered pricing, and that one wins. Dates are published by each organiser and can change; the link to their site is on each page.

Going to the fair is half of it. The other half is who you talk to there
