Summer Break at the Munich Exhibition Center – An Outlook on the 2024 Exhibition Year During summer, the paths between the halls grow quiet. After a busy spring – from INHORGENTA, Analytica to IFAT – the venue briefly feels like a set catching its breath. Nevertheless, work continues behind closed doors: plans, sketches, lists for autumn. Looking back, three themes set the tone: digitalization, sustainability, and the desire to make technology understandable. IFAT tangibly demonstrated the significant levers in water […]
Highlights of IFAT 2024 – Innovation and Sustainable Technologies IFAT 2024 in Munich demonstrated how technology and sustainability are converging. Among machines, lab stands, and startups, three topics were particularly highlighted: Digitalization, Circular Economy, and Global Cooperation. From idea to application Today, recycling plants operate with artificial intelligence, sensor technology, and automated material analysis. This means waste is no longer just separated, but optimally utilized. One example: systems that detect metals in a fraction of a second – a revolution […]

Inviting Exhibition Stands at Analytica 2024 – Comfort and Innovation Combined Analytica 2024 proved that even scientific trade fairs can be emotional. Open layouts, friendly colors, and ample light transformed technical presentations into welcoming meeting places. Color and Structure – A Question of Balance Blue and green accents created tranquility, while wood and textiles provided warmth. This creates a blend of professionalism and trust – ideal for dialogue and photography. Light as Language Light guided the eye and structured the […]
Retro meets Modern – An extraordinary screen installation at Inhorgenta 2024 A booth that pulsates from a distance: a wall of CRT monitors glowing like a mosaic. Up close: exquisite visual noise alongside razor-sharp product details. The contrast creates the stage – and the images. Scene 1: The Wide Shot Viewed from the aisle, the media wall becomes a sculpture. The irregularity appears deliberately composed. Practical tip: A slight counter-movement (stepping sideways) brings lines together and makes the wall “tilt” […]
Supporting program and events at INHORGENTA 2024 – A brilliant restart INHORGENTA 2024 proved that a trade fair can be more than just a product show.
