Chillventa 2026 to feature new hall configuration and expanded space

Chillventa will expand its exhibition area with a new hall and revised layout for its next edition, scheduled for 13 to 15 October 2026 in Nuremberg. The new configuration aims to provide improved orientation and accommodate growing demand from exhibitors in the refrigeration, air-conditioning, ventilation, and heat pump sectors.

Following the fully booked and well-attended Chillventa 2024, organizers have announced the addition of Hall 1 to the exhibition space. The revised layout will redistribute several product segments across the venue to optimize visitor flow and exhibitor visibility. Hall 1 will serve as a new connection point through the Eingang Mitte entrance.

According to the updated plan, the refrigeration categories in Halls 8 and 9 will remain unchanged. Air conditioning, ventilation, and heat pump technologies will be presented in Halls 7 and 7A. Refrigeration technology previously housed in Hall 7A will move to Hall 4A, while exhibits from Hall 7 will be shifted to Halls 1 and 4. The contents of Halls 5 and 6 will be swapped, with control and instrumentation (C&I) technology placed in Hall 6 to create a central link between related product areas.

Daniela Heinkel, Director Chillventa, stated: “Chillventa 2024 was a resounding success and was fully booked. The pre-booking phase for 2026 has shown that the original display area does not offer any scope for new exhibitors or larger stands, so we are adding another hall – hall 1.”

In the lead-up to Chillventa 2026, the European Heat Pump Summit will take place in Nuremberg on 28 and 29 October 2025. The event will bring together international specialists to discuss market trends, innovations, and research developments, and will feature a foyer expo for manufacturers to present their products and services.
