IMEX Frankfurt is an international trade fair for the meetings, events and incentive travel industry. The event takes place on 19, 20 and 21 May 2026 at Messe Frankfurt in Germany. On 18 May, visitors can also attend a free specialist education day. IMEX brings together meeting planners, event professionals, destinations, venues, hotels, technology companies, DMCs and many other suppliers from the global events industry.
The trade fair is known as an important international meeting point for the business events sector. Visitors come to network, gain inspiration, attend educational sessions and schedule targeted appointments with exhibitors. IMEX Frankfurt gives access to thousands of destinations, venues and suppliers from 150 countries and offers more than 200 educational and networking activities.
IMEX attracts a strong international audience. In 2025, IMEX Frankfurt welcomed 13,335 participants, 4,466 buyers and 2,882 exhibiting companies from more than 100 countries. That makes the event especially valuable for brands that want to strengthen their international visibility, build new business relationships and meet professionals who actively plan or purchase events, meetings and incentive programmes.
IMEX visitors often plan their trade fair visit very deliberately. Many buyers arrive with a full agenda, scheduled appointments and clear requirements for international events, meetings or incentive travel. That is why your stand should be easy to recognise and inviting from the first moment. Work with one clear message, an open reception area and visuals that immediately show what kind of experience, destination or solution you offer. The easier it is for visitors to understand your value, the more natural it becomes to start a conversation.
Do you want to be professionally visible at IMEX Frankfurt in an international exhibition environment? Then you need a stand that does more than simply look good. Making Events translates your brand, message and trade fair goals into a stand concept that attracts attention, creates clarity and supports meaningful conversations.
We guide the process from first idea to final delivery. This includes concept development, design, production, transport, build-up and dismantling. You work with one involved stand construction partner, while your team can focus on appointments, relationships and visibility during IMEX.
With Modular Expo, you choose an exhibition stand that fits an international event calendar. The foundation is professional and recognisable, while individual elements can easily be adapted for other markets, events or country presentations. This is a practical option if you regularly take part in trade fairs within meetings, hospitality, travel or event technology.
For IMEX, a modular approach can include changeable visuals, clear stand zones and a layout that supports pre-scheduled meetings. This allows you to combine a strong appearance with reusable elements and keep your presentation flexible for future trade fair participation.
Do you need to move quickly for IMEX Frankfurt, without compromising on a professional look? Next Day Expo offers a practical solution. You choose from fixed formats, work with clear pricing and benefit from fast delivery. This helps you avoid a lengthy process while still presenting your brand properly on the exhibition floor.
This option is a good fit for companies that want a compact presence, need extra visibility or want to make use of an international trade fair opportunity at short notice. It is ideal when speed, clarity and a representative appearance are important.
At IMEX, experience, trust and personal contact are essential. With Custom Expo we create a bespoke exhibition stand that brings your brand story to life. Think of an inviting hospitality area, strong brand visuals, presentation zones or an eye-catching feature that draws visitors towards your stand.
For destinations, hotels, venues, event agencies and technology companies, custom stand construction is valuable when you really want to stand apart. We make sure that appearance, routing and function come together in a stand that matches your international ambitions.
Are you exhibiting with several partners, regions, hotels or labels? Pavilion Expo is a strong choice. We create one recognisable pavilion in which every participant remains visible, while the overall presentation still feels cohesive and professional.
For IMEX, this is ideal for country pavilions, destination presentations, regional collaborations or collective participation from the event and hospitality industry. With a smart layout, clear routing and enough space for conversations, the pavilion becomes easy to navigate and built for business.
Sustainable stand construction fits well with an international trade fair such as IMEX. Exhibitors often travel to Frankfurt with teams, materials and campaign assets. In that context, it makes sense to choose a stand concept that stands out and can be used again.
Making Events works with reusable systems, sustainable materials and smart stand elements that can be used across multiple events. Think of modular frames, reusable visuals and solutions that can easily be adapted for the next trade fair. Making Events also holds an ISO 26000 CSR certification. This means you choose a professional exhibition stand with a more conscious foundation.
The cost of stand construction for IMEX depends on your trade fair goal, stand size, desired appearance and practical requirements. A compact meeting stand requires a different approach than a large hospitality concept, country pavilion or custom-built stand with several presentation zones.
Making Events starts by looking at your plans for IMEX. Do you mainly want to host appointments, generate leads or position your brand internationally? Based on that, we create a proposal that fits your planning and budget. If speed and cost control are important, Next Day Expo can be a strong option. If you want flexibility and reuse, Modular Expo is often a good fit. If maximum brand experience is the priority, Custom Expo offers the strongest route.
Making Events thinks along with you about the role your stand needs to play at IMEX. We look at visibility, routing, reception, meeting space and the way visitors experience your brand. This results in an exhibition stand that looks professional and works well during busy trade fair days.

That depends on your goal and type of participation. For a compact meeting stand, a fast stand solution may be enough.
