bauma 2022 postponed: New dates announced

23 Apr 2021 CW Staff

Organisers of bauma, the leading trade fair for construction machinery, building material machines, mining machines, construction vehicles and construction equipment, have decided to postpone the mega event to the autumn of 2022.

The new dates are 24-30 October 2022.

bauma was planned to be held on 4-10 April 2022. Organisers say that despite the pandemic, both the industry’s response and the booking level had been “very high”. However, in numerous discussions, there was a growing recognition that the April date involved too many uncertainties in view of the global pandemic. “The prevailing opinion was that it is currently difficult to assess whether worldwide travel—which is crucial for the success of the trade show—will be largely unhindered again in a year's time”, a statement from the organising committee at Messe München read.

Detailed answers to all questions on the postponement of bauma can be found at www.bauma.de. Exhibitors who have already registered will also receive further information there.

Regardless of the postponement, the technical and organisational planning for bauma 2022 continues, bauma organisers stated. The core of bauma 2022 will be the face-to-face event, augmented and expanded by digital offerings. “This allows customers from all over the world to participate in bauma, even if they can't or don't want to travel to Munich,” Klaus Dittrich, Chairman and CEO of Messe München, organisers of bauma, explained.

The topics for bauma 2022 reflect the megatrends of digitalisation and sustainability:

The road to zero emissions
Digital construction site
Construction methods and materials of tomorrow
The road to autonomous machines
Mining—sustainable, efficient, reliable
