Thanks to our B2B matchmaking platform, you can book meetings in advance and select the exhibitors that interest you the most. Over two days of meetings, you have the chance to host over 30 meetings with quality suppliers. We make sure every encounter counts because we know your time is valuable. Each year, we bring 70% of new hosted buyers to the event - no other trade show in the world meets or promises such high standards.
A gateway to the region
Conventa is a gateway to the New Europe market, from the Baltics and Central Europe to Southeast and Eastern Europe. Conventa is your key to establishing a presence in a market with over 300 million people. Only a few hours away from Frankfurt or London, half of Europe has its door wide open and awaits event organisers to discover it.

Conventa is more than an annual trade show. We take pride in being hospitable and available hosts. When you join Conventa, you become part of our community, where you can network with like-minded peers, learn from industry experts and drive new business.
A best practice case in sustainability
Conventa is a pioneer and internationally recognised best practice case in sustainable event organising. With the help of the revolutionary Planet Positive Event tool, originating in Slovenia, the organisers accurately measure the event’s carbon footprint, make a sustainable and regenerative rating, and prepare an annual sustainability report with results reviewed by external assessors. By joining Conventa, you commit to co-creating a regenerative and sustainable trade show.
