Trade fair for environmental technologies and water, sewage, waste and raw materials management.
IFAT Munich 2028
IFAT Munich 2028 runs 29 May – 1 June 2028 at the Trade Fair Center Messe München in Munich, Germany.
IFAT is a trade fair for environmental technologies — water and sewage treatment, waste management, recycling and resource recovery. It is the global reference event for the sector: municipal utilities, environmental engineers, waste companies and the equipment manufacturers that serve them, at a scale no other environmental fair matches.
IFAT runs biennially in even years; the 2026 event has already been held. The Munich event also anchors a family of regional IFAT events (India, Eurasia, Africa) — this page is the Munich original.
