About the ISH Fair in Frankfurt

The fair features a broad range of sub-events whose topics of discussion are determined by top themes. These are distributed into two primary groups, each featuring two or more main subjects that, in turn, focus on a specific set of propositions. Affected by the themes are the exhibition, Air Conditioning Forum, ISH Building, Fire & Stove Forum and Technology and Energy Forum. The Fire & Stove Forum features as part of its structure the Ofenflamme Design Prize, also influenced by the themes.
