InterTabac and InterSupply: New sequence of days decided in close coordination
From 2026, the world’s leading trade fair for the tobacco industry will take place from Tuesday to Thursday
In its more than 40-year history, Inter Tabac, together with InterSupply, has developed into the world’s leading trade fair for the tobacco industry, making Dortmund THE industry meeting place of the year every September. Such a success story requires not only continuous further development of the trade fair concept, but also close dialog with all those involved. It is precisely this dialog that has now led to the decision on the trade fair duo’s schedule: From 2026, InterTabac and InterSupply will take place from Tuesday to Thursday instead of Thursday to Saturday.
Dortmund, 24.01.2025 – The change is the result of several surveys among exhibitors and visitors to the trade fair and from the coordination between Messe Dortmund as the organizer of InterTabac, the trade fair advisory board, the partner associations and representatives from the ranks of exhibitors. The new sequence of days is not only intended to make it easier for the target group from the retail sector to participate in the trade fair. In addition, moving this international trade fair to three working days will create more ideal travel conditions for exhibitors and visitors alike.
“For me, there are many factors involved in the further development of a trade fair,” says Sabine Loos, Managing Director of the Westfalenhallen Group. “It’s not just the numerous innovations in the program, in the range of exhibitors and in the events. It is also the consideration of the needs of our exhibitors and visitors. That was important to us right from the start. And we are now proving this with this change. What I can guarantee you: As usual, you can expect a varied, international program from Tuesday to Thursday during this exciting trade fair. Save the date: from September 15 to 17, 2026!”
