ISM 2025
About the event
Update
ISM 2025 will be held between the 2nd and 5th of February 2025. Messe Cologne will not feature coronavirus safeguards for the live trade exhibition. This is because Germany has lifted its pandemic restrictions.
Preface
Founded in 1971, ISM (ISM Köln or ISM Köln Süßwarenmesse) is a pre-eminent trade exposition for the F&B industry’s sweets and snacks sector. It presents confectionery, sweet, and snack innovations. The annual event is held in Messe Cologne alongside ProSweets Cologne. This allows participants to access new markets, earn recognition and network. This results in over 39 000 attendants from more than 140 nations attending the event. The group includes more than 37 000 visitants. 70% of them represent a foreign country. 93% of the group has direct involvement in acquisition and procurement selections. Additionally, 79% have executive positions. The attendant group also features approximately 1 800 exhibiting companies. 87.5% of them travel from abroad. Additionally, more than 600 correspondents from 27 nations visit the fair. Participants represent nations like the United States, France, Argentina, Egypt, Japan, and Australia. They vary from manufacturers through suppliers to distributors. This includes wholesalers, importers, exporters, purchasers, trade chains, department stores, and hypermarkets. Food services, baked goods shops, cafés, bakehouses, confectionaries, and retailers also attend. So do online food merchandisers, vending machine operators and alimentation scientists. Nutrition chemists and sweets/snack producers likewise visit ISM Köln.

Hi Christine,
I’ve appreciated your service and in particular your flexibility. We usually don’t know which staff will be attending our exhibitions until very near the time, and your flexibility with this is important to us and much appreciated.
The rate for the hotel was reasonable. It was near the upper end of our budget, but good value I think, considering the following feedback from staff:
“Hotel was fine, rooms were good and had no problems. Only potential issue was the limited parking, but this didn’t affect me last week.”
“Would definitely stay there again. Staff were really pleasant and helpful, food was good and the location was pretty good too.”
“I would stop there again no problem good rooms good food and good location for city centre.”
Many thanks again for your help.
Kind regards,
Rachel
Dear Tracy,
