Event organiser Mack-Brooks Exhibitions has confirmed that the co-located spring exhibitions, ICE Europe, CCE International and InPrint, will run 15-17 March in Munich, Germany.

With European governments moving to ease Covid related and travel restrictions, the company will host ICE Europe and CCE International, together with InPrint for the first time, at Munich Trade Fair Centre.

Show attendees will have full access to all three exhibitions and exhibitor stands, covering a net floor area exceeding 13,500sqm. In total, more than 460 international companies will present their latest machinery, accessories and services, aimed at optimising the production process or enhancing product features.

A supporting programme, featuring the InPrint Conference, ICE Awards, and CCE Open Seminars, will offer additional touchpoints between buyers and technology suppliers.

A new AI-powered matchmaking service will assist buyers in making smarter networking decisions by suggesting relevant people to meet. This service covers all three exhibitions, ensuring visitors can connect with any supplier of interest across ICE Europe, CCE International and InPrint Munich.

‘We can’t wait to welcome everyone back to the show floor,’ said Patrick Herman, event director for converting, paper and print events at Mack-Brooks Exhibitions.

‘Of course, we can’t rule out all eventualities, but an awful lot would have to happen to make us postpone. This means that for the first time since the start of the pandemic, industry professionals involved in the converting, printing and finishing process will finally get the chance to meet and re-connect with their technology suppliers and peers again.’

He continued, ‘Thanks to our rock-solid event management experience, our show teams can proactively prepare for Covid-secure events in accordance with current government guidelines, and we are able to change safety and entry procedures at short notice if needed. We are fully committed to deliver a milestone event safely and responsibly for all attendees and team members.
