ILMAC is a prime example that not even a pandemic can keep the event industry down. The 2021 edition proved to be a success and a much-needed opportunity for experts and companies to build foundations for a post-pandemic future. ILMAC 2023 is happening! The official dates have been set for September 26th – September 28th. Messe Basel will bring back its stellar health and safety plan for COVID-19. Visitors can yet again expect to wear masks, show vaccination certificates and have access to sanitation units on the show floors. In addition, MCH Messe Schweiz now offers a completely new way to experience ILMAC – the all-digital ILMAC Community. Sign up so that you stay tuned to conversations and discover key contacts.
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 the reputation as the go-to multi-sector event in Europe. Some of the 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.
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.
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.

Hi Simon,
Lovely to talk to you earlier on. Thanks for your assistance here, we didn’t have any problem with the rooms/bookings which is all you can hope in these cases!
We’d be in touch for 2020 as I can’t confirm how many people will attend and on what dates.
Thanks,

Dear Tom,
I am only writing to say thank you for your work.
We spent some great days in Dusseldorf and the hotel was unbeatable.
Very good situation and treatment, in addition to a good breakfast.
We will repeat!
We keep in touch! 😊
Have a nice day,
Hi Megan,
You are a complete and utter star!!!
Thank you so much for all of your efforts with this, I really do appreciate you fighting our corner on this one and for getting them to add in the special clause. I cannot thank you enough. This truly is an example of great customer service :-) and you can quote me on that!
Please do go back and confirm with them.
Thank you again.
Have a lovely evening!
Good day Tom,
Yes, we have checked out of the H4 Hotel Hannover Messe and we have already successfully returned home! Now there is a lot of work to do with the contact we gained during LIGNA.
As for the hotel, everything was great! Rooms were very clean, beds were soft! We really liked the pool and sauna which was available for the guests - it was a great relaxation after a long day at the exhibition! The only minor issue we ran into was during the check-in. For some reason our bookings was marked as to stay in rooms with one double bed. Thankfully upon our arrival the hotel was not full and employees of the hotel were quick to resolve the mishap with the beds!
Thank You for the great service and we will for sure keep in touch for LIGNA 2021!
Hi Megan,

Best regards,
