DVW e.V., the German Association for Geodesy, Geoinformation and Land Management, and Hamburg Messe und Congress have laid the groundwork for a long-term cooperation partnership to organise future INTERGEO events. The two companies signed a ten-year agreement in Hamburg on 16 July 2026 that will take effect in 2028.
New Venue Strategy for INTERGEO
The new partnership marks a change of venue concept for INTERGEO to better meet the industry’s needs. Instead of convening at the same place every year, the world’s leading exhibition and congress platform for geodesy, geoinformation and land management will take place in Hamburg in odd years (starting in 2029) and rotate between two other leading German trade fair cities in even years from 2028.
First Joint Event Planned for 2028
The two companies are planning to host their first joint INTERGEO EXPO and Conference in 2028 at a venue that will be announced in due course. Hamburg Messe und Congress will oversee the operational management of the exhibition, while the INTERGEO Conference will continue as a core component of the event under the operational and technical leadership of DVW.
Industry Leaders Welcome the Collaboration
“In Hamburg Messe und Congress we have won a strong partner for the continuation of the successful long-term development of INTERGEO. At the same time, we have abandoned other plans in favour of resuming our proven concept of alternating between venues to a certain extent so as to strengthen our ties with our industry in Germany and across Europe. Our cooperation agreement provides an excellent basis for implementing this flexible concept,” said DVW President Prof. Rudolf Staiger.
Uwe Fischer, CEO of Hamburg Messe und Congress, added:
“INTERGEO is another major industry event we have been able to win for Hamburg. INTERGEO is one of the foremost international events highlighting innovations in the fields of geodesy, geoinformation and land management. We are more than pleased to have won DVW as our partner to jointly shape the future of this flagship event. The CCH – Congress Center Hamburg, our exhibition halls and Planten un Blomen park form an optimal, highly attractive campus for it.”
Strengthening INTERGEO’s Global Leadership
INTERGEO is the world’s leading trade event and platform for the geoinformation sector, bringing together companies, research institutions, government agencies, and users from around the world. The industry’s rapid pace of innovation and continuous technological advances require the event to evolve accordingly. Through this new partnership, DVW and Hamburg Messe und Congress aim to strengthen INTERGEO’s international leadership as a platform for knowledge exchange, innovation, and business development, while further enhancing its role as a premier global networking event through new formats.
