Inter Tabac

About the event

Even though InterTabac was postponed once to September 2021, Messe Dortmund GmbH feels it’s still not safe to hold an in-person trade fair and serve the industry sufficiently. It’s why plans for a 2021 edition have been scrapped and Messe Dortmund will host InterTabac in September 2022.

The new official dates have been set for September 15th – September 17th and programming will take place amidst strict COVID-19 protective measures. The health and safety of everyone in attendance is of the utmost importance right now. There’s no word as of yet whether InterTabac 2022 will be held as a hybrid event with large digital portions.
