50 years of IFAT
The world's leading trade fair for environmental technology is already in its 50th year in 2016. In 1966, the trade fair started under the name "International Trade Fair for Wastewater Technology" as a presentation platform for the wastewater industry. On an area of 18,000 square meters, 147 exhibitors from nine countries and 7650 visitors from 40 nations took part. At that time, therefore, the event was still quite manageable. Over the years, it established considerable growth rates in all areas - including the newly added ones such as water supply, recycling and municipal technology.
All halls occupied
IFAT 2016 will occupy all 16 halls and parts of the outdoor area, covering a total of 230,000 square meters of exhibition space. 115,000 square meters are allotted to the water and wastewater sector and 115,000 square meters to the recycling and municipal technology sector. In addition, more than 135,000 visitors from all over the world are expected to attend the world's leading trade fair for water, sewage, waste and raw materials management.
Exhibitor database online
Given the number of exhibitors and visitors and the size of the site, good advance planning is essential. An important support for this is the exhibitor directory under www.ifat.de/ausstellerverzeichnis. Here, interested parties can get an initial overview of the halls and the outdoor exhibition area in the "Site plan" section. Detailed information on the exhibitors and their products and services is available in the "Exhibitor search" section. Visitors also have the option of creating a "watch list" to plan all the important stops in advance.
