PMRExpo takes place at Koelnmesse in Cologne from 24 November to 26 November 2026. Europe's leading trade fair for secure communications covering critical infrastructure, professional mobile radio and private 5G.
What the fair covers
Communications infrastructure, networking and information technology lead the programme. Europe's leading trade fair for secure communications covering critical infrastructure, professional mobile radio and private 5G. That shapes both the exhibitor mix and the questions worth preparing before you arrive.
Dates, venue and getting there
The fair runs from 24 November to 26 November 2026 at Koelnmesse in Cologne. It runs for 3 days, which is short, so deciding which halls to prioritise before arriving makes a difference. Cologne is one of Europe's major exhibition cities, and its grounds sit close to the centre with direct rail access. Hotel capacity fills quickly during the largest fairs, and buyers often stay in nearby cities and commute in by train.
Planning your visit
This is a technical audience, and booth conversations move quickly to tolerances, testing and certification. Engineering staff are often present alongside sales teams, which is where the detailed answers come from. For PMRExpo, that means preparing ahead of the November dates and arriving with a target list of stands.
Language and interpreting support
Exhibitors at major European fairs generally handle English well, particularly at international events. Language support becomes more relevant with smaller regional manufacturers, where technical staff may be more comfortable in the local language than the sales team suggests. An interpreter already working in Cologne saves further time simply by knowing the venue and how to move around it.
After the fair
The work after the fair is verification. Check compliance marks and test reports against your market requirements, confirm the bill of materials matches what was quoted, and consider a production inspection with functional testing before the first full shipment.
