The trade fair

About INTERMOT 2027

INTERMOT 2027 will take place from 19 to 21 February 2027 at Koelnmesse in Cologne. It is the show for motorised two-wheelers and brings together manufacturers, trade, importers, accessory providers, service companies and motorcycle fans at the start of the season. 

The focus is on motorised vehicles, trailers and sidecars, components and accessories, engines and parts, electrical equipment, clothing, motorcyclists’ gear, machines, tools, workshop and shop equipment, raw materials, semi-finished products, packaging materials, lubricants, care products, tourism and associations. 

For exhibitors, this means that the stand must stage motorcycles and products emotionally, explain technical benefits clearly and enable consultation, community contact and buying impulses at the same time. Robust vehicle areas, clear sightlines, safe visitor routing, strong brand imagery and a stand concept that convincingly connects community feeling, technology and sales are particularly important.

Sustainability

Exhibition stand construction that lives on after the event

Our clickwand system was developed in 2007 as a sustainable alternative to the throwaway culture in exhibition stand construction. The modular elements can be reused as often as required; they are stored after each use and can be flexibly re-deployed. With a lifespan of over 10 years, they combine sustainability, efficiency and long-term cost-effectiveness.

  • 80% less waste than with traditional timber stand construction
  • Re-use of walls, counters, lighting elements and decorations
  • Storage of your stand elements with us – ready to go for the next trade fair
  • Short routes within Cologne, bundled sample and product logistics and modular stand planning reduce transport effort and make on-site adjustments easier during build-up and the fair
