How the trade show has evolved

Trajectory analysis

SEPEM Colmar is part of a national network of proximity industrial trade shows operated by GL events Exhibitions Industrie: Colmar follows a three-year cycle (2024, then 2027), longer than the other legs of the network, which are generally held every two years. The 2024 edition confirmed the show's positioning, centred on the demonstration of machines in operation and direct matchmaking between suppliers and production sites. The 2027 edition, from 21 to 23 September, continues this model with more than 450 announced exhibitors. Attendance figures and the final list of exhibitors will be published once the trade show has ended.
