EXPO REAL 2025: New Hall B3

The new Hall B3 is replacing the previous Hall C2 for the first time at EXPO REAL 2025.

EXPO REAL is reorganizing its hall layout and replacing the previous Hall C2 with the new Hall B3, making key topics such as retail and housing a more focal point of the trade fair. The immediate proximity to Hall A3, where the future-oriented trade fair Transform & Beyond is located at EXPO REAL, will give both areas an additional boost.

Claudia Boymanns, Exhibition Director of EXPO REAL, says: “The new Hall B3 allows us to consolidate the exhibition space and focus on a central topic: housing. B3 provides exhibitors and visitors with an attractive location that is also close to the heavily frequented outdoor areas between the A and B halls.”

Hall B3 will also see the premiere of the newly created “Flexible Housing” forum, which will be accompanied by an exhibition on affordable, resource-saving and sustainable housing. Both the urgent need for action and practical solutions for residential construction will be discussed on the accompanying stage.

In addition, the Grand Plaza is moving to Hall B3 as the central meeting point for retail. With it there will be a new, compact stand construction to attract special attention on the one hand and, on the other, provide enough space for themed events such as the now traditional Grand Plaza Party on the first evening of the trade fair. “By relocating from Hall C2 to Hall B3, the participating retail companies will gain significant visibility at the trade fair,” explains Boymanns.

Overall, there will be no change to the space used for EXPO REAL through the move. The occupancy of the seven halls adds up to 76,000 square meters of exhibition space.
