The organizers are promising an all-new experience,
a more contemporary atmosphere than two years
ago. The Messeboulevard – main artery of the fairgrounds
– will be guiding visitors easily and make for
short trips between halls. At the same time, it is an
exclusive service and shopping promenade, which
begins at the new south entrance, the gateway to
downtown Cologne and to the Cologne Messe/Deutz
train station.
This leading international dental trade show will
be held in halls 3, 4, 10 and 11.
Speaker’s Corner in Hall 3.1, right next to the south
entrance, will be active and alive on all days of the
trade show. Here, IDS exhibitors will be presenting
new products, services and procedures. The first day
