Kind + Jugend 2025 will see the launch of the Trend Space – Playground for Innovation, Networking & Knowledge, marking a central meeting point that combines innovation, knowledge transfer and exchange.

Situated at the heart of the activity, the Consultation & Knowledge Hub awaits visitors in a modern lounge setting. This space will feature a high-quality lecture programme, panels and discussions on key industry topics, plus personal consultations with selected experts.

For more relaxed networking, the integrated food and beverage area provides the ideal environment for informal conversations. In addition, the Trend Space will house the Innovation Award Exhibition, showcasing the winning products and nominees of the Innovation Award 2025.

Other dedicated areas such as the New Product Trail in Hall 10.2 provide targeted guidance and inspiration. The format gives trade visitors a concise overview of the most promising new products of the year and offers exhibitors additional placement for maximum visibility.

Kind + Jugend 2025 will take place in Cologne from 9-11 September. The new September dates, immediately following Maison & Objet in Paris, have been well received by the market and reportedly help international participants plan their trade fair schedules more efficiently.
