Best of Events International 2026 will take place between the 14th and 15th of January 2026. The format of the event will be face-to-face and will take place at Messe Dortmund.
Based in Dortmund Germany, BOE INTERNATIONAL is an international trade fair for business communication, live marketing, events and conference services. Also known as Best of Events, the fair covers the entire value chain of technology, equipment, and practices for organising live events. The Messe Dortmund hosts the two-day editions at the start of January each year. The live events' industry is already making a strong comeback and there are a lot of new opportunities and niches to explore now. This is the result of how the coronavirus pandemic has changed how big indoor events are being put together.
BOE INTERNATIONAL creates synergy between all related fields thanks to its superior offering of products and solutions. Exhibitors fall in four distinct product areas: MICE, Digital, Technology & Scenography, and Safety & Security. Together they turn the trade fair into the preferred stop for buyers to get everything they need for future event organisation. BOE INTERNATIONAL is mainly a European event and exhibitors come from Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, the UK, Belgium, France, and Italy. In terms of audience, you will come across representatives from:
The majority are in positions of power like decision makers in marketing, buyers and project managers. Their main objective is to perform market research and find new suppliers.
BOE INTERNATIONAL works tirelessly to add value to its visitors’ experience. The most recent development is the hybrid format. The digital RoadToBOE is now further strengthened by the addition of the BOE connect. This new online platform connects the international event industry gives exhibitors a chance to do digital networking well before the physical event, which lines up potential partners and meetings ahead of time. The trade fair is also supplemented by the BrandEx Festival, which is held one day before the actual event, and the BrandEx Awards. You also get to experience top experts and thought leaders sharing new trends and industry knowledge via talks and presentations in thematic forums. New talent has an easy time learning how the industry works and plenty of chances to connect with future employers.

Dear Nick,
I'm sorry I could not answer the phone. I was not in business last week, so I'm in a big crowd.
He wants to thank you again for your accommodation.
In Frankfurt, we were very nice. The hotel is close to the fairground and the city center. Rooms are very nice, clean and neat.
Frankfurt is arranged. I hope we stay in touch, and maybe we will be back together with the accommodation
Great regards, Amela
Hi Michael and Tracy,
Thank you for follow up.
Was a nice hotel, although it was placed a long way from our originally booked hotel in the center of the city – so it had an extra cost for taxi’s.
Besides that we had some good days and the hotel was nice – we were all named Ronni, which gave som challenges as that is not our names, and they could not change the names at the hotel.
Best regards/Med venlig hilsen

My colleagues were satisfied and the position of the hotel was fine to reach the fair.
It wasnt a top standard hotel but for the price we paid and the quality we received we are okay with it.

Hello George,
The rooms are comfortable, quiet and very clean. Excellent breakfast with a wide choiche and alternatives available. Corridors need refurbishing as the carpeting is really worn out, as well as room doors. Hotel restaurant closed on sunday but other restaurants are available at walking distance. Taxis to Prowein quite expensive. If traffic is smooth, it takes approx 20 minutes to get to the Exhibition ground.
