Schedule Changes and Launches on the International Scene

Staff -- Tradeshow Week, 8/21/2006

Show launches, shifts and schedule changes from around the world:

• Chillventa Nuernberg Intl. Trade Fair — Refrigeration — Air Conditioning & Ventilation — Heat Pumps will debut at NuernbergMesse Oct. 15–17, 2008.
  Kerstin Steger of NuernbergMesse said the new show will replace IKK — Intl. Trade Fair for Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Ventilation, whose organizers have made the decision to move to Stuttgart next year.
  Steger said a group of IKK exhibitors told NuernbergMesse they preferred to remain with a show in Nuernberg and asked for help. Nevertheless, Steger said, NuernbergMesse remains under contract with the promoter of IKK, IKK Wirtschafts und Informationsdienste, through the end of this year and intends to fulfill its commitment. IKK 2006 takes place at the Nuernberg exhibition venue Oct. 18–20.
  Organizers said IKK, in moving to Stuttgart, will receive the endorsement of German refrigeration and air conditioning association VDKF, owner of the IKK trademark. It will be held in October 2008, and every two years thereafter.
• Renexpo Central & South East Europe, an international trade fair and trade conference for renewable energies and energy-efficient building and renovation, will launch April 9–11, 2007, in Budapest, Hungary.
  REECO subsidiary REECO Hungary is co-producing the show, patterned after a similar Renexpo event in Augsburg, Germany.
• Sino Print, an international exhibition for the printing industry, will debut March 7–10, 2007, at the Chinese Export Commodities Fair Pazhou Complex in Guangzhou, China. The China Foreign Trade Centre and Adsale Exhibition Services will organize the show, which is intended to be staged every four years.
  Adsale also organizes Printing South China. Sino Print will take place concurrently with the 14th Printing South China, the 14th Sino-Pack and the new Sino Label.
  Stanley Chu, chairman of Adsale, said the Pearl River Delta has become one of the strongest printing centers in the country, and needs a periodic trade fair of its own with a wide range of printing equipment. He expects Sino Print '07 to span 60,000 square meters (646,000 square feet).
• AgroFarm, an international tradeshow for animal husbandry and breeding, with a focus on cattle, pigs and poultry, will debut in Moscow June 19–21, 2007. The show is a joint venture between the DLG German Agricultural Society in Frankfurt and the All-Russian Exhibition Center in Moscow, the first such venture between the two entities. The DLG is the organizer of the Agritechnica and EuroTier exhibitions; All-Russian organizes Golden Autumn, a Moscow agricultural exhibition.
• The PS India processing systems show, which launched last year in Hyderabad, India, will move to the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai Oct. 26–28. The event is focused on the industrial, manufacturing and engineering industries, particularly fluid, air and gas handling systems. Show organizer HQ Link holds similar shows in China, the Middle East, Singapore and Vietnam.

Charmaine Yang, deputy marketing communication manager for HQ Link, said the show is moving because Mumbai is at the heart of India's leading industrial state and the country's most competitive economic region.
