ISM 2025 will be held between the 2nd and 5th of February 2025. Messe Cologne will not feature coronavirus safeguards for the live trade exhibition. This is because Germany has lifted its pandemic restrictions.
Founded in 1971, ISM (ISM Köln or ISM Köln Süßwarenmesse) is a pre-eminent trade exposition for the F&B industry’s sweets and snacks sector. It presents confectionery, sweet, and snack innovations. The annual event is held in Messe Cologne alongside ProSweets Cologne. This allows participants to access new markets, earn recognition and network. This results in over 39 000 attendants from more than 140 nations attending the event. The group includes more than 37 000 visitants. 70% of them represent a foreign country. 93% of the group has direct involvement in acquisition and procurement selections. Additionally, 79% have executive positions. The attendant group also features approximately 1 800 exhibiting companies. 87.5% of them travel from abroad. Additionally, more than 600 correspondents from 27 nations visit the fair. Participants represent nations like the United States, France, Argentina, Egypt, Japan, and Australia. They vary from manufacturers through suppliers to distributors. This includes wholesalers, importers, exporters, purchasers, trade chains, department stores, and hypermarkets. Food services, baked goods shops, cafés, bakehouses, confectionaries, and retailers also attend. So do online food merchandisers, vending machine operators and alimentation scientists. Nutrition chemists and sweets/snack producers likewise visit ISM Köln.
Industries such as F&B, food processing, packaging, and wholesale attend ISM. Additionally, the retail, import & export, nutrition, health, distribution and HoReCa sectors attend the trade fair. So do the vending machine, chemical, and agriculture industries.
ISM Köln Süßwarenmesse is a trade fair with a comprehensive support schedule. For instance, one of its showstoppers is the detailed exhibition. It features seven exhibitor sections. These include cocoa-related, sugar confectionary, biscuits, snack fares, vogue & raw snacks, breakfast bites, and gelato. Another must-attend sub-event is the Finest Creation-Hand-Crafted. The ISM Expert Stage, ISM Award, Trend Court@ISM, Halal Market, and Sweet Kitchen should not be disregarded. This also applies to the New Product Showcase, ISM Start-up, and ISM Newcomer Area. The Cologne Coffee Forum and the Sweet Traditions Special Show are also must-attends.

Dear George,
Thank you for the service! All was great and we are really satisfied.
Kind regards,

The location of the hotel was great since it was all walking distance. Facility was not as nice as I expected but the maintenance was good enough. However, although I booked for the twin bed, I got the room with a double bed. Nevertheless, again, the location was great. There was a supermarket right next to it and a nice cozy cafe across the street. I would stay at the same hotel again.
