Stuttgart, Germany, sees editions of Interbad come every two years somewhere at the end of autumn – late October usually. The exhibition lasts for four days and opens its doors to business visitors as well as the public. Messe Stuttgart serves as the official host and performs the role of an organiser with conjunction with Deutsche Gesellschaft für das Badewesen (the German Society for Bathing). There no separate working times for the two types of visitors. Working hours are form 09:00 am until 18:00 pm. Messe Stuttgart gives you several options for commute – the easiest being by car thanks to its connections to the city’s motorways. The exhibition grounds are also well-connected to Stuttgart Airport. If you’re relying on public transport, there are buses and the suburban train system at your service.
What Are People Saying?
- “interbad is the leading trade fair for pool and bath technology, and is also perceived as such. It provides us with an excellent platform in which we can present our first-class products. The propensity to invest is much higher than two years ago and the mood at the trade fair was generally very good," - Norbert Pohlen, Head of the Market Division for Leisure Pools, Scheidt und Bachmann;
- “My conclusion: very international. We were satisfied with the number of visitors and the trade fair itself, and have no criticism whatsoever. There’s a saying in Baden-Württemberg: "Not complaining is praise enough‘, in other words everything was OK.” – Cedrik Mayer-Klenk, Managing Director of Chemoform AG;
- “interbad is a success story! With the key topics of digitalisation, retention of skilled personnel and vocational education and training, interbad examines the future challenges facing small and medium-sized companies,” - Katrin Schütz, State Secretary in the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labour and Housing.
As an exhibitor, there’s one question above all else on your mind – ‘will interbad be worth it for my brand.’ To that we have to give a resounding yes, since the exhibition is the hub for more than 400 exhibitors. At the same time, given how interbad is open to both professionals and the general public, attendance rates stay at over 14,000 visitors. That’s quite enough to ensure attention from all points of the sales chain. Roughly 30% of all visitors are international in origin with the biggest numbers from Russia, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Austria. Professional breakdown of trade visitors reveals that interbad is a chief meeting point for architects, planners, and experts involved in swimming pool construction as well as professionals involved in managing and operation of swimming pools, sports venues and hotels. It’s also important to note that those professionals in attendance are either owners, managers or otherwise have purchasing powers.
