long tuesday @ area30 – more time for successful business

area30 is responding to the growing demands of the kitchen industry: in 2026, the trade fair will remain open for an extra day to give exhibitors and trade visitors more opportunity for face-to-face discussions, successful business deals and high-quality networking.

That’s what it’s all about

‘long tuesday’ has two clear objectives:

• Increased order volume for exhibitors

• More time and a more relaxed atmosphere for trade visitors at area30

Particularly at a time when numerous in-house exhibitions and trade fair formats are taking place simultaneously, the extended opening hours create real added value for everyone involved.

On Tuesday, 22 September 2026, area30 will remain open until 8 pm.

This creates additional time for in-depth discussions and successful business deals – without any time pressure and in a relaxed atmosphere.

More time. More interaction. More success.

long tuesday is a new highlight of area30 – designed for an industry that needs more than just exhibition time: space for genuine conversations and lasting business relationships.
