INTERLIFT 2023: INTERLIFT 2023, ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST IMPORTANT TRADE FAIRS FOR THE ELEVATOR INDUSTRY, WILL TAKE PLACE IN AUGSBURG
Currently, 38 countries are represented in Augsburg, with 70 per cent of exhibitors not headquartered in Germany, making Interlift 2023 the year with the highest number of international exhibitors.
Meeting point of the international lift world
Interlift has long been recognised by decision-makers all over the world as the most important industry meeting; nowhere else do so many entrepreneurs and executives come together. This concentration of high-level experts is also one of the prerequisites for the success of the participants. After Germany, Italy is again the strongest country; one out of every four foreign participants comes from Italy. This is followed by Turkey with 20 per cent, Spain with 11 per cent and China with 8 per cent. Incidentally, Interlift is the only trade fair in the world where the Chinese Association presents itself. India has risen to 5th place, especially thanks to its first major partner presentation.
Exhibition Hall 2 - hall for associations and media
The industry's leading associations and organisations have also always used Interlift as an effective networking platform. EFESME, ELA European Elevator Association, European Elevator Association, VmA and ANACAM and ANICA, as well as the International CEA China Elevator Association, also from India, will be present as sponsors of the exhibition. The Sourcing Exhibition for Elevators and Escalators and international media such as Virgo Communications and Exhibitions PVT Ltd. ELEVATOR WORLD, ELEVATORI or the German publications Lift Report and Lift Journal are also traditionally represented.
The publication of guest tickets already underlines the great visitor interest
Lift specialists will be coming to Augsburg from all over the world. This is also supported by the number of guest tickets announced so far. The trend shows that the number of visitors in 2023 will exceed the previous event. The guest ticket quota alone, which is provided free of charge by the organiser AFAG, is around 25,000. In addition, exhibitors can request as many additional tickets for their customers as they wish.
Last chance
For those who decide at short notice, it is not too late to participate in Interlift; project management can still offer some space in attractive locations. The organiser AFAG can also offer exhibitors without their own stand structure an ideal solution with comfortable complete stands. Even with low budgets, effective trade fair participation is certainly possible in this way. Of course, it is also clear that the later this decision is made, the fewer options there will be to choose from among the remaining areas.
Participant night "Elevator Experts Night" in the special VIP area of WWK Arena
The VIP area of the nearby WWK Arena proved to be the perfect venue for attendees' evenings. The specially designed hall will again provide the perfect setting for the Elevator Professionals' Night in 2023. A free shuttle service will take guests from the trade fair to the WWK Arena and back with ease.

VFA Forum Interlift '23: Highlights
One of the highlights of the forum, which this year is accompanied by the participation of more than 40 international experts, is the SME special event dedicated to the opening day of the fair, with contributions on changes in European legislation. This special topic block is mainly aimed at medium- sized companies in the sector that need to keep abreast of the impact of current changes in standards, directives and regulations. Esfandiar Gharibaan from CEN TC10 will also give an overview of the new machinery regulation. Current topics such as digitalisation, artificial intelligence and cyber security, which are increasingly preoccupying the industry, will also be examined from different perspectives. The VFA Forum Interlift programme will be published soon.
