After the show all eyes turn to the next:  Preparations for INTERMODELLBAU 2027 have begun

Aftermovie helps relive all the highlights of this year’s event on the website

It has been one month since INTERMODELLBAU 2026 came to an end – and organizers as well as exhibitors are already looking ahead to next year’s edition. During the show itself, more than 90 percent of exhibiting companies confirmed their intention to return in 2027. Many of them wasted no time making it official: the exhibition team received numerous stand registrations while the event was still underway. Preparations for the next edition are therefore already in full swing. Anyone wanting to relive the memories – and build excitement for 2027 – can now also watch the official aftermovie on the website.

Dortmund, 19 May 2026 – Four days filled with action, amazement, hands-on activities and discovery are captured in the short film now available on the trade fair website. Anyone inspired by these impressions should already save the new date: from 22 to 25 April 2027, INTERMODELLBAU will once again attract enthusiasts from all areas of model making to the exhibition halls in Dortmund.

Companies that do not want to miss the opportunity to present themselves to an enthusiastic audience of hobbyists, clubs and industry experts should secure their stand space for INTERMODELLBAU 2027 now. Europe’s largest trade fair for model making and model sports offers exhibitors the ideal platform to showcase innovations, maintain valuable contacts and reach new target groups.

Display layouts to inspire visitors again next year
However, INTERMODELLBAU is not only a platform for manufacturers and retailers. Another integral part of the show are the impressive display layouts, which rank among the event’s biggest crowd-pullers year after year. Clubs and private exhibitors present their highly detailed layouts – often created over many years – and connect with fellow railway enthusiasts. Anyone wishing to become part of this unique model railway world in the future and present their own exhibition layout at INTERMODELLBAU can now apply online here.
