No changes have been announced for IFFA 2025. The international meat processing trade show is currently in its early planning stages, with dates set for May 3rd—May 8th, 2025. Messe Frankfurt Exhibition GmbH intends to host the upcoming IFFA as a live event because no other alternative can achieve the success of trade shows and exhibitions. Currently, Germany does not have domestic Covid-19 restrictions in place, therefore Messe Frankfurt also does not have ongoing limitations, such as access control. Organisers will strongly encourage the following of recommendations, such as avoiding crowd congestion. Due to Germany's travel restrictions, participants will have to present upon arrival in the country documents such as negative test results.
Consult with peers on standards and best practices in the meat industry at IFFA and discover all the latest innovations and equipment concerning meat processing. The international trade show operates out of Frankfurt, Germany and arrives every three years at Messe Frankfurt. Editions are typically held in May and programming lasts for six days in total. What’s so special about IFFA is that not only does it offer visitors access to the entire processing chain, but also keeps its finger on the pulse of the industry. What this means for IFFA is a brand-new chapter. IFFA 2022 brings in a new focus–alternative proteins. The market for meat alternatives has grown to a point where it can no longer be ignored, which is why IFFA is making space for the pioneers in this sector.
As we mentioned, the entire processing chain can be observed at IFFA. This includes everything–slaughtering technology, roasting, frying, baking and deep-frying equipment, packing equipment, transport and storage systems, weighing systems, process control, and foodstuff safety. Now there’s also going to be production and processing of plant-based products and products made from cell-cultured meat. These new additions will only bring in new visitors. Habasit Group, HEMA, LASKA, Loma Systems, Unitherm Food Systems and Denico Food Ingredients have exhibited in the past. Who attends IFFA? Trade visitors come from all over the retail sector. There are, of course, representatives from the food and the semi-luxuries industry and butcher trade, but also food retail trade, wholesalers, importers and exporters. The majority of buyers happen to be based in Europe, but there’s growing interest from Asia and Northern America.
If you’re trying to raise your profile and get introduced to potential partners, then sign up for the IFFA Discovery Tours. These guided tours are an excellent vehicle to bring in targeted visitors to your booth and increase your chances of sales leads. IFFA keeps its eyes on the future, which is why you’re likely to hear all about how digitalisation and automation are changing the industry in major ways. Other themes are food safety and the efficiency of resources. One showstopper of the trade show is the IFFA Kitchen. This special area shows you exactly how a production line works in real-time with live demonstrations, which show how sausages are made, packaged and labelled.

2022
IFFA 2022 marked the successful restart of the leading meat processing and packaging trade fair. The edition was held live in Messe Frankfurt between 14.05.2022 and 19.05.2022. The venue did not incorporate Covid-19 safety measures, such as pre-entry testing, due to the improved epidemiological situation in Germany. As a result, attendees could take part in the event without the necessity of adhering to regulations such as the 3G entry policy. IFFA 2022 featured approximately 50,000 trade visitors from 129 countries and 860 exhibitors from 44 nations. The edition had high internationality rates, as 72% of the visitors and 58% of the exhibitors were from abroad.

Dear Megan,
Thank you very much for your kind message. Everything went fine at Interpack, thank you. For the moment we do not have any Exhibition this year and the one planned for 2015 is in Barcelona, so we will not need any hotels. Nevertheless, I will get in touch with you when we have to look for hotels abroad for exhibitions.
With best regards,
Maribel Mendoza Sales Department
The service was impeccable to ensure that I am well looked after for the hotel accommodation during Medical. Will definitely use their services again for the next event.
Dear Megan,
The hotel all in all is good. Rooms are fine with good beds and bathrooms. Breakfast is very good for a hotel of this size. A small thing, but it would have been good with more English speaking TV channels.
It is ok to use public transports to the exhibitions ground, but it would have been even better to have a similar hotel along U78 north of the city centre when exhibiting at the Dusseldorf Messe.
Best regards,
Ingrid/Group Marketing Manager
Bonjour Simon,

Dear Tom,
thank you for the assistance with accommodation's booking for our Biofach stay in Nuremberg. Everything went well and we were very satisfied.
Thank you very much one more time.
Kindest regards
Once again I am very happy with the hotel. It was nice and clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet is large and has something for everyone. The rooms are clean and spacious. Will definitely re-book the hotel on my next business trip to Hamburg.
Hi Giancarlo,
sorry if I take advantage of your personal number, but I want to tell you a big thank you in private because in a short time you have organized everything for me. You know I was anxious when they asked me to find the hotel for my colleagues. Then when you wrote me the first time, I started to calm down. Finally I even felt pampered. You are really special in your work.
I will never stop thanking you!
Dear Tom, Dear Tess,
Thank you for your service, all went well. The only remark is that the hotel does not dispose of many parking slots, so we might reconsider it for next year.
Thanks
Best regards,
Dear Meagan,

I’m Alexey,
sales person taking care of whitefish our fleet exports abroad. Travel time to time attending different shows and events. Of course, not often but it happens, having head ache how and where to book one or another hotel. I met Mrs. Megan Moore couple of years ago and was positively surprised I can have service like she render. No more head ache with bookings, just short e-mail and I’m in a hotel. That’s what Megan can do better than others. My last booking was a year ago in Brussels, nice and comfortable room, good people at reception. In other words Megan really knows what her client want.
