The further development of the TI-Expo + Conference has been a success

Around 1,000 participants came to the Areal Böhler in Düsseldorf over two days to find out about what TI-Expo + Conference 2024 has to offer. The focus was on solutions and innovations in technical insulation for the industry.

Düsseldorf – The TI-Expo + Conference has proven to be a holistic event for fabricators and insulators. At the same time, the event also reached specialist planners, architects, energy consultants and facility managers, who increasingly need to focus on achieving energy efficiency, CO2 reduction and operational safety through improved technical insulation.

Around 60 exhibitors presented their products and services at the TI-Expo in the Areal Böhler. Live workshops were added to the trade fair programme: well-known industry influencers Todor Gajanovic ("Sheet Metal Workshop" on YouTube) and Graeme Bell ("Insulation-Master-Class" on Facebook), supported by Schwartmanns, held live sheet metal and insulation workshops, passing on their expertise to visitors to the TI-Expo + Conference.

The TI Conference was integrated into the trade fair, with presentations focussing on practical information, current developments and new regulations. The open conference, which was free of charge for TI-Expo visitors, worked well and the division of the TI-Conference programme into two parts was well received: On the first day, the programme was aimed at insulators, while the second day primarily addressed architects and planners. The conference was well attended on both days.

"Great location, perfect organisation and a full house: we are very satisfied with the course and response to the TI Conference. The chosen focal points met with broad interest and provided both target groups of our trade magazine "TI - Technische Isolierung", the specialist insulators and the specialist planners, with comprehensive information on the latest state of the art," says Stephan Schalm, Member of the Management Board of RM Rudolf Müller Medien GmbH.

The managing directors of trade fair organisers AFAG, Henning and Thilo Könicke, are satisfied with the further development of the event: "The new format for the TI-Expo + Conference has been found. The combination of trade fair offerings and knowledge transfer, the content concept and the location and setting have harmonised well. With this framework, the TI-Expo + Conference has the potential to become firmly established in the industry and the biennial cycle for the event has also proved its worth."

The next TI-Expo + Conference will take place in March 2026 at Areal Böhler in Düsseldorf. The TI-Expo + Conference is organised by trade fair organiser AFAG Messen und Ausstellungen and RM Rudolf Müller Medien, publisher of the trade magazine "TI - Technische Isolierung".

Exhibitors' comments on the TI-Expo + Conference

"The trade fair went much better than expected, the frequency was good. The visitors were qualified, including many visitors from abroad, and we were able to make some interesting contacts. The visitors were mainly there for the conference. I liked the concept of the event and the location."
Daniel Tacke, Managing Director Tacke + Lindemann

"TI-Expo is definitely an interesting trade fair for establishing contact with insulators. We market insulation material, so the first day of the trade fair was very interesting and very successful, and we were able to establish very good, highly qualified contacts. In this respect, we expect a lot from it. The second day of the fair was very subdued for us, there were more other trade visitors, such as architects, so it was relatively quiet for us. On the other hand, we were very impressed with the first day of the fair."
Mattis Wichmann, Sales Manager Culimeta Textilglas-Technologie

"After the first day, I was pleasantly surprised by the good attendance and also by the response and quality of the visitors. The organisation of the TI-Expo + Conference is excellent."
Werner Ehrler, Geschäftsführer Bohl Befestigungssysteme

"We were pleasantly surprised by the high number of visitors and are looking forward to the next edition of TI-Expo + Conference."
Markus Biland, Geschäftsführer Mabi

"We are very satisfied with the TI-Expo + Conference. Those who are not here are wrong. We are happy with the people who came."
Marc Desomer, Rohhe

"Graeme Bell and I had a lot of fun organising the workshops at the TI Expo + Conference. We had a lot of people here in the influencer arena who came up to us with lots of questions. There were also thousands of interested people online via our channels."
Todor Gajanovic, „Sheet Metal Workshop“ on Youtube
