InterTabac
INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP

In 2024 InterTabac was again the most important meeting place for the industry. 14,500 guests recently visited the world's largest trade fair for tobacco products and smoking accessories. Around 800 exhibitors from 70 countries presented their unique range of products and services related to tobacco enjoyment. Around 94 per cent said they want to come back next year. In the Dortmund exhibition halls, some of them even presented their range for the first time to the international or European market. Innovations such as the 'International Cigar Pavilion' or the even more diverse supporting program were also well received by the visitors.

The next edition of the trade fairs will take place from September 18th to 20th, 2025- of course again in the halls of Messe Dortmund.

Misleading Listing Offers
Warning: Misleading Listing Offers

Unfortunately, it happens again and again that exhibitors receive misleading entry offers in order to be included in so-called trade fair and exhibitor directories. Well-known companies and online directories are art-living.info, Expo Guide, International Fairs Directory, Handwerk-Markt.com, Handcraft-market.com and Construct Data Publisher. Messe Dortmund GmbH expressly states that it has no connection whatsoever with "Expo Guide", "art-living.info", "FAIR GUIDE", "International Fairs Directory", "Handwerk-Markt.com" and "Handcraft-market.com".

We expressly distance ourselves from the business practices of these companies. In most cases, these are unauthorized publishers who finance themselves through paid listings in various directories. However, they often give the impression that the offer is free of charge. It is only in the small print of the terms and conditions that the amount and duration of the payment obligation can be found - which often turns into a nasty surprise.

Entries in the official media of our events can be made via our Online Service Center (OSC). The access data for the OSC will be sent to you together with the stand confirmation by our trade fair teams on Messe Dortmund GmbH letterhead or by e-mail with the appropriate signature.

You can obtain more detailed information on the Internet at the AUMA website, Ausstellungs- und Messe-Ausschuss der Deutschen Wirtschaft e.V., or from Ms. Silvia Bauermeister Phone: 030/24000-103, e-mail: s.bauermeister@auma.de.
