Ilm Offenbach
New dates
The International Leather Goods Fair (ILM) has set its dates for 2027, providing early guidance for the international order calendar.
Both editions have been moved up by one week compared to previous years to better align with international trade show schedules. ILM #165 will run from Saturday, February 13, to Monday, February 15, 2027, and ILM #166 from Saturday, September 4, to Monday, September 6, 2027. “Clear time frames are crucial for the industry. With the adjusted schedule, we are creating a reliable foundation for planning, networking, and ordering,” explains Arnd Hinrich Kappe, Managing Director of Messe Offenbach. Twice a year, ILM brings together brands, retailers, and industry experts in Offenbach and is one of the most important international meeting places for bags, luggage, leather goods, and accessories. This year’s 164th edition is scheduled for August 29–31, 2026, and tickets are now available on the trade fair’s website.
