“The LivingKitchen is the biggest kitchen event in the world with an impressive development. With ‘LivingKitchen Vision2035’ we’ll revolutionize the already highly successful trade fair format and at the same time refine our profile – kitchen and Koelnmesse are a recognizable unit. Thus, we’re creating an additional visitor magnet which will draw the global media landscape to Cologne even more strongly. This will benefit our exhibitors who will define the future of the kitchen with us in January 2019,” says Gerald Böse, Chairman of the Board of Koelnmesse.
