About the event

COVID Update

The increase in coronavirus cases has forced organisers to postpone IDS 2021 from its original dates early in the year. The international trade fair for dentistry is now relegated to late September. The new dates are set for September 22^nd – September 25^th at Koelnmesse.

GFDI - Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Dental-Industrie mbH promises a sanitized venue and the very best of COVID-19 prevention measures put in place. The main objective is to restart the industry and give exhibitors the best chances to make sales at the same time. Physical trade events have been affected greatly by the pandemic, but remain quite important in every industry. 

Calling Card

The International Dental Show or IDS has been staged every two years in Cologne, Germany since 1923. Due to its long history and having been present at the birth of modern odontology, it is the world’s premier trade show for all things dentistry, from medicine to technology. Products include dental instruments, dental medicine, dental medical equipment, technical equipment for dentists, materials, instruments, communication systems, information systems, CAD/CAM, disinfections, implants, pharmaceuticals, and services. As such, you won’t want to miss a great opportunity to upgrade your equipment, interview for a new job, and find new partners and clientele. The trade show is stretched out over five days. 

Business Profile

IDS is a wonderful networking and knowledge transfer opportunity for fresh graduates and young dentists just starting out, seasoned medical professionals, and equipment manufacturers. There will also be medical technicians, pharmacists, chemists, lab technicians, and industrial engineers.
