IAW Autumn 2022

The International Trade Fair for Retail Promotions and Imports (IAW) is an essential biannual meeting for the retail trade. The previous 31st event edition marked the first restart of the IAW trade fair meetings after a two-year-long pause caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Despite the difficulties presented to the event industry, last year brought to Messe Cologne over 5000 trade visitors from 52 countries, a promising start for the retail event industry. The IAW Autumn 2022 dates are set to 6th - 8th September (27th – 29th September) in halls 6 and 9 of Messe Cologne.

The Autumn IAW edition typically hosts around 350 exhibitors who represent a comprehensive range of retail categories: from F&B, textiles, and household goods to services and e-commerce solutions. The Autumn IAW is a reliable supply source platform offering to all visitors top-selling merchandise, impulse purchase items, promotional products, trend-led merchandise. IAW is the perfect tool for exhibitors to debut their seasonal and trendy products in front of an international audience and reach their customer targets.

The forum arena presents talks focused on the latest online shopping trends and other retail industry-relevant topics.
