An international trade fair calendar lists upcoming trade fairs by country, with dates, host cities and whether the exhibitor list is available. The tables below are generated from the Expomatik catalogue and refreshed every hour, so they show the countries with the most upcoming fairs and the nearest fairs in each of them.
The catalogue currently tracks 838 upcoming trade fairs worldwide.
How is this calendar compiled?
Organisers publish their dates on separate websites, dates move and older lists go out of date. Instead of a hand-written list that is stale within months, this page reads the catalogue directly. Three terms are used in the tables:
- Edition
- One occurrence of a trade fair, for example the 2027 edition of an annual fair, with its own dates and exhibitors.
- List ready
- The exhibitors of this edition have been compiled and their business email addresses checked.
- Calendar only
- Dates and venue are known; the exhibitor list has not been compiled yet.

How do you choose which trade fair to attend?
Look at the exhibitors before the visitor numbers. Visitor figures measure the crowd; your buyers and competitors are in the exhibitor list. If your target customers do not take a stand at a fair, it is probably not your fair, however large it is.
Compare editions, not only fairs. The same fair can change from year to year: a sector hall moves to another event, or a strong exhibitor group stays away. The list of the previous edition shows who usually attends.
When should you contact exhibitors before a fair?
Appointment diaries fill up weeks before opening. Teams that reach the exhibitor list four to six weeks ahead arrive with meetings already agreed, instead of introducing themselves at the stand. How to get the list is covered in our guide on how to get a trade fair exhibitor list, and the rules for marketing email in the legal guide for UK and EU recipients.
Is a fair you do not attend still useful?
Yes. No budget covers every fair, and it does not need to. The exhibitor list of a fair is a current record of the companies active in that sector and region, so it is useful for research and outreach even when you stay at home.
Frequently asked questions
- How often is this trade fair calendar updated?
- The tables are generated from the Expomatik catalogue and refreshed every hour. When an organiser announces new dates or a fair is added to the catalogue, it appears here without anyone editing the article.
- What does "list ready" mean in the calendar?
- It means the exhibitors of that edition have already been compiled and their business email addresses checked. Fairs marked "calendar only" are known by date and venue, but their exhibitor list has not been compiled yet.
- How far ahead should I plan an international trade fair?
- Stand bookings at large fairs often close many months ahead, and hotels in the host city fill early. For meetings at the fair, contacting exhibitors four to six weeks before opening leaves enough time to agree appointments.
