EuroShop 2026 is set to transform Düsseldorf into the global hub for retail innovation and business for five days from 22 February to 26 February 2026, taking place at Messe Düsseldorf in Germany’s lively Rhine city. It’s widely recognized as the world’s leading trade fair for the retail industry, bringing together around 1,800 to 1,900 exhibitors from over fifty countries and attracting tens of thousands of professional visitors and decision-makers from across the globe to explore new trends and technologies shaping the future of retail.
This edition marks a special milestone — it celebrates the 60th anniversary of EuroShop, which has been held roughly every three years since 1966 and has grown into the largest gathering of retail professionals worldwide. The event is not just a traditional exhibition floor; it’s designed as a Global Retail Festival showcasing innovations across multiple thematic dimensions of retailing, including shopfitting and store design, visual merchandising, retail technology and AI applications, lighting solutions, marketing and branding, food service, and energy management.
Visitors can expect a packed program that extends well beyond booths: stages with expert talks, guided innovation tours, special areas like design villages and startup hubs, networking events, and awards celebrating excellence in retail technology and design. It’s a place where established retailers, tech innovators, designers, and service providers come together to forge partnerships, discover practical solutions, and gain insight into emerging trends that will influence retail operations and customer experiences in the years ahead.
Held annually at Messe Düsseldorf — a top exhibition venue known for its modern infrastructure and strong international connectivity — EuroShop remains a key destination for anyone involved in shaping the retail landscape, from shop owners and architects to IT specialists and brand strategists.
