Bags already packed? In a few days the IFA 2022 will start in Berlin. Finally back in presence, without further restrictions. We have summarized all important dates, keynotes and events for you. As trade fair experts, we also have a few helpful tips for you.
Last year is the IFA completely failed, a year earlier – the IFA 2020 – was only sparsely attended. So since 2019 It's been a while since we traveled to Berlin, Europe's most important technology fair, when we were in full swing. We're really motivated. For the Team TechnikNews Fabian, Kevin, Nils and I - David - will be there. Are you there too? Connect with us on twitter, then we can meet and exchange ideas on site.

The best IFA 2022 tips for trade fair visitors
Are you visiting the IFA Berlin directly? Welcome! However, a larger trade fair like the IFA requires some preparation in order not to despair on site. We have the best tips for you in each category.
Ticket Categories
Important: The ticket must be bought online, there is no ticket office on site.
- Normal ticket: Access to the exhibition center
- Trade visitor ticket: Fast Lane for fast entry, entry to IFA Global Markets, shuttle services, IFA keynotes, trade visitor tours, free WiFi at the trade visitor reception at the south entrance, trade visitor reception with breakfast: daily between 8 and 10 a.m. – south entrance, conference and meeting rooms, and much more
How to get there
In a big city like Berlin, you also have to plan your arrival. The best way to get to the IFA is by S-Bahn, but there are several options:
- Train: Messe Nord/ICC, Messe Süd
- Subway: Kaiserdamm, Theodor-Heuss-Platz
- Car: Parking lot Berlin ExpoCenter City (Messedamm 22), CityCube Berlin (Messedamm 26), hub27 Berlin (Berlin Exhibition Grounds, Jafféstraße, Gate 25)
Visit to the booth
Are you planning to visit some exhibitors directly at the booth? Plan using the IFA site plan the visits well. It is advisable to approach the halls one after the other so as not to walk from one corner of the exhibition center to the other.
Use the IFA shuttle
With a trade visitor ticket you can use the IFA shuttle on the site free of charge. This will take you to all possible points at the fair and drive the lines drawn on the shuttle plan (Download link) along. This saves you a lot of walking.
Comfortable shoes
We already anticipated it earlier – a visit to a trade fair means a lot of walking around. At least as a visitor. Be sure to get comfortable, good shoes - trust me: we often have more than 13.000 steps on one day of the trade fair pro person put back.
Take a backpack or bag with you
Many companies give out goodies or other things at the booths. A backpack or a bag for these things should definitely be planned. But don't stuff too much in either: the backpack should be light and comfortable.
Meals
There are a number of food stands waiting for you directly at the exhibition center both indoors and outdoors. Our experience shows that card payment is not possible everywhere. So some cash is definitely recommended. A bottle of water in your backpack or pocket can't hurt anyway.
Don't dress too warm
You won't get cold in the exhibition hall - especially because there are many people in one room. So don't dress too warm, we would recommend loose clothing like a shirt and jeans. Very few people wear suits there.
Use the trade visitor breakfast
Morning refreshment? Absolutely. Do you have a trade visitor ticket? Take advantage of the free trade visitor breakfast, daily between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. at the south entrance.
With our tips you have already gotten the most difficult things behind you. Pack your bags, travel to Berlin and off you go. We wish you a lot of fun and maybe we'll see you!
