IBO is the big spring show at Lake Constance. She reaches through her cross-industry exhibitors structure in many segments and theme worlds, small and medium enterprises as well as big companies. Thereby different IBO exhibitors have different objectives: the improvement of corporate reputation, sales, image advertising, customer care, increase the attractiveness of companies, publication of education or post-fair business. The new IBO fair structure reflects the structural change in the society and it has been shown that the clear structure that combines themed worlds with events and emotion shows is very well received by the visitors.

On the whole the organisers welcomed on the 5 days of the fair, from 20. March to 24. March 2019, about 74100 visitors on the IBO in Friedrichshafen.

The IBO will take place on 4 days from Thursday, 08. July to Sunday, 11. July 2021 in Friedrichshafen.
