22. October 2025

First bookings have been received – after-movies are online.

800 exhibitors from around 70 countries. Eleven packed halls. A successful event premiere the day before the official start of the trade show. Numerous product premieres. And great satisfaction – both on the part of visitors and exhibitors. It has been a month since the 45th edition of InterTabac made history. For three days, the trade show, together with InterSupply, transformed the Dortmund exhibition halls into THE international meeting place for the tobacco and nicotine industry. Planning for the 2026 edition has long since begun.

Dortmund, 21 October 2025 – After all, after the show, all eyes turn to the next one. And the exhibiting companies know that too. Many of them have already made good on their promises. During the trade show, almost 90 percent of them said they wanted to participate again next year. And indeed, while still in the halls, but also in the days and weeks after the event, the organizing team received numerous re-registrations.

This means that planning for September 15 to 17, 2026, is in full swing – which also applies to the trade show program. With new knowledge partners such as The Cigar Academy and the Global Institute of Novel Nicotine (GINN), the side events of this year’s show will be followed up and ideas for the upcoming trade fair will be developed. Events such as the first Cigar Culture Summit and the second edition of PouchXchange received overwhelmingly positive feedback.
