ORGATEC in Cologne is the leading international trade fair for the modern working world. IBA is its conceptual sponsor and is responsible for the Wherever Whenever – Work Culture Festival, which will took place for the first time as part of ORGATEC 2024.

ORGATEC

The Mission

New Visions of Work

Employees who want to perform well need a work environment that supports them. ORGATEC exhibitors and visitors show what this environment could look like. Their broad perspective includes much more than the traditional workplace. After all, today work is being done in a great variety of places: at home, on the go, or at your desk in the office, in the project room, or in the cafeteria.

The next ORGATEC will take place from 27 to 30 October 2026 in Cologne.

The Role of the IBA

Conceptual Sponsor and Driving Force

The organizer of ORGATEC is Koelnmesse. The IBA is its conceptual sponsor. This means that the IBA and its members actively support the Koelnmesse team’s preparation and staging of ORGATEC, the leading international trade fair for modern office work. The support activities include defining the overall content of ORGATEC, supporting the project management and public relations work, and cooperatively implementing the event formats. In addition, the IBA organizes its own contributions to the programme. In 2024 this was for the first time the Wherever Whenever – Work Culture Festival
