What can experts look forward to at Chillventa 2018 ? How has the exhibition evolved ? Daniela Heinkel ( DH ): In terms of display area , Chillventa has grown yet again . The new hall configuration that we were able to use for the first time in 2016 has proven successful . The feedback from visitors shows us how important it is to have a clear structure to the exhibits . This makes it easier for people to navigate the event and prepare for their trade fair visit .
In addition , we are very pleased that many exhibitors have booked larger stands this year . This is also a sign of their enormous confidence in the event . Experts from all over the world come together at Chillventa to obtain information , share their views , and present and initiate new projects . We are expecting to once again welcome around 32 000 trade visitors and achieve a total of 1 000 exhibiting companies from across the world for the first time .
The Chillventa Congress and the exhibitor forums in the halls are the know-how highlights of the event . Exhibitors and associations from around the world , as well as trade visitors and journalists , use the event as their industry platform . Here is where you meet people , cultivate and expand networks , and conduct business . The average proportion of international exhibitors is higher than 68 %, which is very high . Once again , we expect 57 % of visitors to come from other countries . Clearly , Chillventa is an internationally orientated event by experts for experts : ‘ Chillventa Connecting Experts ’.
How has Chillventa ' s international refrigeration , air-conditioning , ventilation , and heat pump network been further developed ? DH : As I mentioned before , Chillventa in Nuremberg is a highly international event . And we want to live up to this claim on a worldwide basis . The international refrigeration , airconditioning , ventilation , and heat pumps portfolio is unrivalled and has exhibited a very positive development over the years . NürnbergMesse has built up an impressive worldwide network in recent years , comprising the leading exhibition Chillventa and the European Heat Pump Summit in Nuremberg , ACREX India , REFCOLD India , and the European Pavilion powered by Chillventa at China Refrigeration .
