Dear Anna, The Hotel Monte Christo - Koln was great ! Flights was all ok. Hotel Very clean and neat. Hot inside as much as you wish. Very nice hosting service ! The Hotel receptionist man, Swen was very very nice to me, more than helpful and was a real pleasure to deal with him. Alexandra, his colleague also she was very nice, even tough I only deal with her for several hours, before I left the hotel , back to Romania. I know I might not have been so easy to deal person at times, but you was patient to me. I appreciate all your efforts to find the best deal based upon my requests. Thank you again for all your support ! Have a great day !

About the event
COVID Update
The coronavirus pandemic led to the cancellation of ISM 2021 as it was simply not possible to put together a trade show due to government restrictions. Instead there have been digital meetings that will lead to ISM 2022 scheduled for January 30th – February 2nd, 2022 at Koelnmesse in Cologne, Germany.
The extended pause between events will ensure that life would get close to normal after COVID-19 and it will be possible to host a live event successfully and safely. Koelnmesse GmbH have also announced plans to enhance the physical edition with digital offers. Creating a hybrid event will serve a lot bigger audience!
Calling Card
ISM has earned itself the title of the world’s largest trade fair for sweets and snacks. It’s organised in Cologne, Germany every single year in early February. This means that exhibitors can start the year with strong sales and publicity. Programming runs for four days in total at Koelnmesse and only trade visitors are allowed to attend. In addition, ISM also shares the stage with ProSweets Cologne, which is a related event focused exclusively on confectionary products. The trade fair has been going strong for nearly fifty years and is where the newest products are released first. If you want a successful product launch, this is where you do it.
Business Potential
If you want to reach new markets and raise brand recognition, you have every reason to exhibit at ISM. The international trade show represents the entire value chain. Product categories include but are not limited to confectionery, frozen confectionery, candies, ready-to-eat fruit snacks, ice cream, baked goods, chocolate products, and snack products. ISM is the most important event in the year for the industry, so you see the biggest retail chains in person. Kaufland, Kroger, Metro, Coop, Whole Foods, Edeka, Aldi, Carrefour, Amazon, Walgreens and Costco attend every single year. That’s not to mention every other type of buyer like bakeries and vending machine operators. You can reach a lot of markets in Europe and North America. Buyers come from Germany, Belgium, Italy, Poland, the UK, the Netherlands, the USA and France.
Did You Know?
There’s a lot happening during ISM that benefits exhibitors and visitors alike. A highlight during the support program is the ISM Expert Stage. You have world-renowned experts deliver keynote speeches on the most important trends happening right now. If you want to adapt and stay ahead of your competitors, it’s crucial to be well-informed. Previous editions have featured events like the Cologne Coffee Forum and the Sweet Traditions Special Show. Although programming tends to change year to year there are key events that are unchanged. The ISM Award is given every year to exceptional companies and it’s a desirable award. Visitors can enjoy live cooking shows at the Sweet Kitchen or sign up for a guided tour that lasts for an hour and a half.

It's a budget hotel do not expect much, they provide clean room but small room size. The hotel not far from Messe Duesseldorf by car but if you want to take public transport between the hotel and Messe Duesseldorf it's not convenient. But if you prepare to take taxi so it's not far from the place about 15 minutes

Dear Christine,
Thank you for email. Everything went well during our stay. The hotel allowed early check-in. Room is new and clean, but is too small, and the hotel is located in good location as it is convenient to public transportation and walking distance to the old town. Only few points, it's a bit noisy surrounding(from the road), especially at night. The room does not seal and not well sound protected. With the room rate it would be good if the hotel served BF. Thank you.
Best Regards,
Pisit C.

Dear colleagues,
thank you for helping me find a hotel for my clients. Unfortunately, the hotel was a little farther than customers expected, but everything was done without blame.
