Update
ILMAC 2026 is happening! The official dates have been set for September 23rd – September 24th in Messe Basel.
Calling Card
ILMAC delivers cutting-edge advancements in multiple fields related to chemicals and life sciences. The international exhibition is based in Basel, Switzerland and operates out of Messe Basel. Editions are spaced out every two years and editions are traditionally held in late September. The chemicals industry has a wide application across every major sector. As a result, ILMAC has a wide appeal and has earned itself a reputation as the go-to multi-sector event in Europe. Some areas and topics ILMAC touches upon include pharmaceuticals, chemicals, biotechnology, food, drinks, and cosmetics. The exhibition showcases all relevant research and innovations across the entire processing chain. As a meeting place, ILMAC guarantees top connections with qualified leads and you certainly can’t discredit their support programme.
Business Potential
Now let’s discuss exactly how ILMAC is a valuable platform for visitors and exhibitors alike. The exhibition covers every important technology and equipment category. The product portfolio has environmental technology, sanitation, sterilization equipment, laboratory equipment, control technology, analytical equipment and automation. Brands you can expect to find at ILMAC include Agilent Technologies, Mettler-Toledo, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Büchi Labortechnik AG, Merck and Weiss Technik AG. The nature of the exhibition positions it as the best place to launch new products and generate buzz. Attendance gives your brand credibility and there’s the added bonus that you won’t find the same caliber of visitors anywhere else. Given how many visitors are from France, Italy, Germany, Norway, China, Spain, Sweden and the USA, you can effectively penetrate foreign markets. That’s on top of all the different sectors being represented.
Did You Know?
Sharing of knowledge and expertise remains one of the key missions of ILMAC next to making it possible for high-level business networking. This goal translates into the well-respected ILMAC FORUM. The forum is known for its star-studded speaker list and a packed programme with lots of presentations, lectures, discussions and round tables. Another way you can experience the bright future of advancements in the field is to visit the Maintenance Excellence Arena for a practical approach. Last but not least, ILMAC is all about the development of talent and expertise. If you’re searching for talent to join your company, get yourself to the Job Fair.

Ben and his colleagues have been of great help. It took us time to finalise our request and Ben kept in touch regularly without "dropping out" which was very helpful. It was sometimes difficult to find the time to focus on the booking for EUROTIER in the middle of short term priorities. Ben was brilliant at keeping me on the ball. Ben and his colleagues made things easy and were always helpful in their feedback and advice. The house found house 7027 was a very good solution. The landlord was really helpful and the house was very comfortable. Thank you very much for your service.

Dear Ben,
The fair was very successful and I really liked the hotel where I stayed with my colleague. It was perfect, right next to the subway and only 15 minutes away from the book fair.
I will use your services again for sure, thank you for making the experience so enjoyable.
Best regards,
Cristina

Hotel was very nice and clean. Location was also good, just 10 min by train to ExCel to DSEI 2023.

This hotel was in a great location, very close to the main train station.
There are tons of restaurants and sight seeing opportunities within walking/biking distance. The value/price was much better than the hotel I stayed at 4 years ago when I attended the Ligna show.
Sofia Wahlman
All went perfect with the hotel and we enjoyed it a lot.
Only down side the temperature in the rooms were a bit low.

We worked with Tom Parker at Travel2Fair and couldn't have asked for a better coordinator. He was most professional and responsive and wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

Dear Ellie,
Motel One was very appreciated by my colleagues, but it’s really early for us to consider any options for next year.
We will likely start to make the necessary arrangements during Summer.
Kind regards

I recently used Travel to Fairs to help me search for a hotel for a group of colleagues attending Bauma 2022 and my whole experience was very positive. Michelle Adams, my agent gave some very good suggestions and options for hotels near to the venue and in the centre of Munich. Michelle's communication with me was excellent and always very helpful. I would highly recommend t2f to anyone booking for an event.
