urope’s leading platform for jewelry, timepieces and gemstones is making a strong statement with a new date for the event in spring 2021. By doing so, Inhorgenta Munich is offering its exhibitors and visitors planning reliability at an early stage. In close cooperation with its partners and advisory boards, Messe München has decided to organize the show from April 15 to 19, 2021.

“With the new dates and by extending the duration by a day, we are offering our customers not only excellent conditions, but also more security by equalizing the flow of visitors,” says Klaus Dittrich, Chairman and CEO of Messe München. “We are now looking ahead and working together with the industry to organize a successful Inhorgenta Munich in April 2021.”

“The new dates in April are the necessary step in offering exhibitors and visitors an excellent platform for their businesses and following up on the previous successes of Inhorgenta,” says Stefanie Mändlein, Exhibition Director.

“The one-time decision to postpone to April makes allowances for the pandemic and helps us to carry out a safe trade fair for everyone involved in spring 2021. As a physical gathering of industry and commerce, Inhorgenta Munich is indispensable to the sector. It is the anchor of a reconfiguring trade fair landscape. This decision was made by the Advisory Board together with Messe München and has the support of the associations,” added Joachim Duenkelmann, Managing Director of the Federal Association of Jewellers, Jewellery and Watch Retailers (BVJ), Dr. Guido Grohmann, Managing Director of the Association of Jewellery, Watches, Clocks & Supplying Industry and Joerg Lindemann, Director General of the Federal Association of the Precious Stones and Diamond Industry.

The decision has also proved to be very popular among visitors and exhibitors. This was confirmed by Anja Heiden, CEO of the Jewellery Division at Wempe: “The early planning security is beneficial to us all. That’s why I think it’s good and the right thing to do to have the show take place in April.”

Nicole Ripp, of Groh + Ripp is also supportive: “IInhorgenta Munich has become one of the most important trade fairs in Europe. It has managed to gain new, renowned exhibitors that have been presenting in Basel for years. We very much appreciate that we now have more notice to plan for the new dates in April 2021.”

After the successful execution of the Inhorgenta TrendFactory #ReInspire digital platform, industry representatives are now heading into the future with determination. As usual, Inhorgenta Munich in April will continue to build on the industry summit and its position as Europe’s leading platform for jewelry, timepieces, and gemstones. The Inhorgenta Award and TrendFactory Munich will also still take place.

The booking status of the previous season has almost been reached already. Alongside many loyal partners, new additions include the likes of Bigli, Pasquale Bruni, Oris and Leo Pizzo.

The new, almost 300 square meter-large “Carat Area” is another highlight of the program. The concept for the new area with its uniform, high-quality booth construction was initiated by eight international companies—including Abouchar, Alain Boite, Gustav Caesar and Horovitz & Totah.

The Salon Suisse is also looking forward to a high demand and will develop further for Inhorgenta Munich 2021.
