From 25 to 29 October, international trade visitors will find 120,000 square metres of exhibition space bursting with inspiring ideas and innovations for the challenging task of designing the work environments of today. ORGATEC 2022 will be the world's largest business platform for the industry this year.

The break due to the pandemic has in no way diminished the huge interest in ORGATEC 2022. Approximately 600 companies have already confirmed that they will be participating, among which a few representative of the French Furniture. 

Practical information

It’s only a little over three months now until the leading international trade fair for the modern working world opens its doors. And it can already be stated that it’s looking good for ORGATEC 2022 in Cologne. From 25 to 29 October, international trade visitors will find 120,000 square metres of exhibition space bursting with inspiring ideas and innovations for the challenging task of designing the work environments of today. Approximately 600 companies have already confirmed that they will be participating. 

And the exhibiting companies are not the only ones looking forward to October with great anticipation. The retail sector is counting on ORGATEC as well. The Office and Writing Culture Trade Association (HBS / Handelsverband Büro und Schreibkultur), for instance, has its own stand at the trade fair and is recommending that its members visit ORGATEC 2022. According to HBS Managing Director Christian Haeser, now that it’s finally possible to make direct contact with industry products and representatives once again, it’s extremely important for specialised retailers to seize the opportunity. ORGATEC is the central hub where they can get together with the key players in the industry to explore the vital theme of “new work” and to continue to give it shape.

ORGATEC 2022 is also firmly scheduled in the calendars of interior architects. This is confirmed by the President of the Association of German Interior Architects (bdia), Pia A. Döll: "All colleagues are looking forward to finally meeting customers, manufacturers and clients in person again. Because ORGATEC is an ideal platform for personal communication and professional dialogue. In addition to the international exhibitor field and the high-calibre trade audience, the conference and event programme at ORGATEC also offers a variety of new approaches to solutions and inspiration for the urgent challenges that our association members are currently facing." 

Alongside the event programme tailored specifically to the needs and interests of the visitor target groups, the specific advantages that only an in-person event can offer are now finally returning to the forefront, following a period in which such events all too often couldn’t take place due to the pandemic. ORGATEC 2022 will once again place a strong emphasis on networking, personal encounters and the kind of matchmaking that is so vital for successful business. What's more, ORGATEC’s great strength – its thematic diversity – will become an even more prominent feature this year.
