interzum 2019 welcomed 74,000 visitors.


interzum organizers say two new participation options for the 2021 event – which will include interzum@home – will provide visitors and exhibitors with more flexibility than ever before.
“With interzum 2021, we will again offer suppliers to the furniture industry and interior design sector their global stage for new products and trends, with an even more extensive digital offering,” says Matthias Pollmann, vice president trade fair management at Koelnmesse.
“We know that many companies are in favour of a purely digital event because of the uncertainty surrounding the development of the pandemic right now. That’s why we’ve decided on a concept with participation options that offer the greatest possible degree of flexibility, with a clear focus on the digital presence and therefore on interzum@home.
Purely digital participation and a presence in the new interzum@home exhibition hall permit the best of both worlds
“Even though a presence on interzum@home is already included with a classic, physical presence at the trade fair for all exhibitors, in the face of the current challenges we’re acting on a request voiced by many of our exhibitors: we’re now also offering every company the option of purely digital participation on our new interzum@home platform,” says interzum director Maik Fischer.
“Various digital-only packages will be available for the purpose, allowing companies to participate solely in the form of a digital presence on interzum@home 2021 - a presence that’s a perfect fit with their needs.
“In addition, there is another new alternative for participation that serves as a kind of intermediary between the two possibilities outlined above: the option of taking part in the “interzum@home hall,” where Koelnmesse will provide interested exhibitors with a physical trade fair presence that includes the construction of an attractive booth in three different sizes and can be used as a springboard and connecting element between the trade fair in Cologne and the exhibitor’s interzum@home presence.
“With this additional exhibition format, we’re offering companies the right framework for a safe and up-market presentation in a compact space. This allows exhibitors to benefit from a top-class setting at the physical interzum 2021 in Cologne while simultaneously making use of the opportunities presented by the new digital platform interzum@home. “That way, exhibitors get the best of both worlds, so to speak,” Fischer says

Increased overall reach thanks to a combination of digital and analogue formats
The goal of the new digital trade fair platform interzum@home is to use the new digital channel to increase overall reach. The components of this platform, which are state of the art, provide various possibilities for interaction, including digital showrooms, stages, workshops and cafés. Even in the face of the corona pandemic, this ensures interzum will reach a global audience.
Complemented by the digital stage provided by interzum@home, interzum is and will remain the leading platform for the furniture production and interior finishing industry! As the world’s leading event for the sector, it remains a reliable address for an inspiring exchange and new business opportunities – even in these challenging times.

Proudly serving the industry since 1987
