From 2026 onwards, the duration of IFAT Munich will be four days instead of five. It will be held from Monday to Thursday. The change aims to increase the efficiency of the trade show for all IFAT participants, while retaining the special areas and events within its frame.
On account of the 60th anniversary of the event, IFAT 2026 will be given a new name that will mirror its extended role in relation to environmental solutions: IFAT Munich: Solutions for Water, Recycling and Circularity.
