Chillventa 2026 is THE international gathering for the refrigeration, air conditioning, ventilation, and heat pump industries. From October 13–15, it will provide a comprehensive overview of technologies, trends, and solutions at the Nuremberg Exhibition Center. More than 1,000 leading exhibitors will present groundbreaking innovations and showcase the direction in which the industry is heading. Leading experts, industry associations, and key players from manufacturing, wholesale, and the skilled trades come together every two years to make the most of synergies, learn from one another, and drive forward the industry’s key issues for the future.
New this year: In 2026, Chillventa will expand its exhibition space to include an additional hall, creating even more room for innovations, new technologies, and a more diverse range of offerings. The trade show is complemented by the Chillventa Congress, held the day before, which provides in-depth expert knowledge, research findings, and insights into future trends. In addition to the Chillventa Congress, the extensive supporting program offers a wide range of opportunities for professional development on all three days of the trade show.
In 2026, the “Zukunftsraum” will also take place for the first time; this event is specifically aimed at tradespeople and will explore topics such as AI, digitalization, and practical applications that make everyday work easier—such as the fully digital construction site file.
The participation of young companies is also a deliberate part of Chillventa’s trade show concept. Startups bring fresh approaches to refrigeration, air conditioning, ventilation, and heat pump technology—often closely tied to specific challenges in planning, operation, and service.
Visitors to Chillventa include employees and decision-makers from companies specializing in refrigeration, air conditioning, heat pumps, electrical systems, and HVAC; manufacturers; plant operators; building services engineers; architects; and representatives from specialty retailers and wholesalers. As the world’s leading trade fair for refrigeration technology, Chillventa is the perfect place to enter new markets, network globally, and make top-tier international contacts around the world.
