New concept

In 2026, SCHAU! launched with a new concept. Clear thematic areas, higher quality, and a focused trade fair format were at the core.

SCHAU! – Clearer. Stronger. More relevant.
SCHAU! presented itself with a revised concept. The focus was on clear thematic areas, targeted quality enhancement, and a more compact format. The fair concentrated more on content that is equally relevant to exhibitors and visitors.

Thematic structure with six SCHAU locations
The new layout creates clarity and makes planning easier. Each SCHAU location represents a specific theme: Garden, Health, Enjoyment & Wine, Leisure, Living, and Household. The content is presented in a contemporary way and emotionally engaging. This makes SCHAU! not only more informative but also more inspiring.

Efficient trade fair visit
The more compact format strengthens exchange and makes the visit more manageable. The clear structure helps to pursue interests purposefully and find relevant offers directly. SCHAU! thus becomes a place for well-founded decisions and personal encounters.
Quality over quantity
The fair deliberately focuses on selected exhibitors with convincing products and offers. Less scattering means more substance and a clear profile. Visitors experience high-quality content, exhibitors meet targeted demand.

Attractive supporting program
The SCHAU! team creates a versatile program every year for all age groups. Visitors experience exciting activities, interactive formats, and offers that invite participation.

Event for the whole family
SCHAU! offers a diverse trade fair experience for the entire family.

What remains
SCHAU! remains a place for dialogue, discovery, and inspiration. New is the clear thematic orientation that enriches the trade fair visit and increases the added value for all involved.

New concept.
