What happens at Chillventa 2026
Chillventa draws an audience that comes with a specific agenda. They are evaluating systems for projects that are already in planning. Your booth content needs to match that level of seriousness. With a two-year gap between editions, the content you produce here carries your brand into the months and years when no fair is running -- exactly when purchasing decisions are being finalised.
Our recommendation for Chillventa 2026
The Story Video is the standard recommendation. One hero film up to 60 seconds, focused on how the system works and what problem it solves. Expert statement optional but effective with this audience. Two social cuts for LinkedIn and email follow-up. Four hours on-site, enough to cover the stand, capture the key technical moments, and not get in the way of live demonstrations. Because Chillventa draws 35,000 visitors and is heavily international, an English-language version of the main film is worth the extra step, even if you are a German brand.
