The imm cologne exhibition is to return to its traditional January timing in 2024.
This year’s event was rescheduled to June.
The 2024 show will also open on a Sunday, rather than the traditional Monday.
The show will take place from 14-18 January, with the traditional public days not returning.
‘In close consultation with the industry and the associations involved in the event, we’re delighted to be able to announce that imm cologne will return to its usual January dates from 2024. The start of the year always has a unique dynamic, which makes it the perfect time for the industry and the retail and wholesale trade to gather and design tomorrow’s living spaces together,’ says Gerald Böse, Koelnmesse ceo.
‘We welcome this early decision on imm cologne’s future dates. The announcement will make planning easier for our manufacturers. There is strong support in the industry for an imm cologne in January: the event has been a firm fixture on the calendar for decades,’ says Elmar Duffner, Association of the German Furniture Industry president.
