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.

Update
ILMAC 2025 is happening! The official dates have been set for September 16th – September 18th 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.

Nick Lloyd is very helpful, and friendly. He replies to questions quickly and informatively. We did not end up booking anything due to other reasons, but I would recommend Nick Lloyd to anyone wanting to book accommodation for conferences.

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,
