ORGATEC 2026 Booth Builder in Cologne
ORGATEC shows how work will look tomorrow. A booth that embodies that credibly is not an accessory here, it is the exhibit itself.
ORGATEC 2026 runs October 27 to 30, 2026 at Koelnmesse, the international meeting point for modern working environments: office and contract furniture, acoustics, lighting, flooring and the concepts behind them. Messebau Köln und Düsseldorf (German for exhibition stand construction Cologne and Dusseldorf) is operated by Standbuilder International, Inc.; your ORGATEC exhibition booth is planned and built by CBS Neospace GmbH of Ratingen, ISO 9001:2015 certified.
What makes an ORGATEC booth different
- The booth is the product. Companies that design work environments are judged by their own presence. Materials, light and spatial feel have to be right, from flooring to acoustic ceiling.
- Show furniture in use. Walkable scenarios (workstation, meeting, lounge) sell better than showroom rows; visitor flow and zones are planned accordingly.
- Craftsmanship counts. Real materials, clean edges, high-grade surfaces: in-house fabrication pays straight into credibility here.
Your timeline to October 27, 2026
As of July 2026, both routes are open: a rental stand with custom graphics is comfortably plannable, and a compact custom build is still feasible with a prompt order:
- Now: inquiry via the contact form with hall, booth size and budget range; response by the next business day.
- By mid-August: concept, 3D view and quote within five business days; contract with CBS Neospace GmbH.
- August to September: engineering, material and print approvals, venue orders and permits with Koelnmesse.
- September to October: fabrication or rental system preparation, graphics production, logistics.
- Late October: build-up in the venue’s time window, turnkey handover before October 27, dismantling after close on October 30.
