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.

Dear Tom,
thank you again for your care and professionalism. For sure I'll address only to you for all future events as well. As for the hotel - it is located very good, the interior layouts are also very good. The only minus there is extremely poor breakfast. Last time in Arosa Hotel, and even in Crown hotel they were much better, being at the same time enough plain.
Thank you again for your help!
Regards,
Irina

Hi Tom,
Just a quick email to say thanks very much for organising our hotels – all went well at the Fair and the hotel was very nice.
Thanks again
Mel,

Many thanks to Mr Tom Parker from GoFair throughout the whole process of searching for a suitable hotel. The hotel is located perfectly good- just 10 minutes walking up to the Messe, or several minutes by train. The interior layouts are also very good. The rooms are spacious, comfortable bed, shower room etc...A good room service. The only minus there is extremely poor breakfast that really should be improved.

Just want it to be highlighted to your company how hard you work and that it should not go unnoticed. We have had so much bad luck in the past with accommodation in London, so it is so reassuring to have someone like you who has helped us – I will be sure to use you always going forward as customer experience is everything and you have nailed this ☺
Thank you again – what a credit to your team

Good Morning Tracy,
how are you?
Just a quick feed back about Gideon Hotel.
Excellent, confortable, good cleaning, lovely position in the center of Nuernberg, good connection with the exhibition center.
Katharinenhaus parking place for the cars was just round the corner 5 minutes walking. Very good.
Breakfast not so much to be honest.
Check in a little bit complicate after 08.00 pm.
Generally speaking it was good.
Thank you so much for your co-operation.
Keep in touch.
Best Regrads.

Everything was okay. Nice staff. Clean room, very quite place, no street rush, perfect breakfast. Not enough parking spaces but it was not a problem to park in the street few metres from hotel. Perfect hotel for few nights for business trips. Not far from Messe Stuttgart - only 10 minutes by car. Without any traffic.
