Trade fair for stage productions, music and events
The International Kulturbörse Freiburg (IKF for short) is the largest trade fair in the German-speaking world for stage productions, music and events with live performances, an extensive exhibition area and a diverse program. Every year in January, the cultural industry looks to Freiburg with anticipation when international artists and ensembles from the fields of performing arts, music and street theater show live excerpts from their current programs to the professional audience. The majority of trade visitors to the IKF are promoters, agents, event professionals, festival organizers and producers. In addition, numerous exhibitors present themselves in the exhibition hall on more than 6,000m² and market their artists and inform about the latest trends and developments in the cultural industry. A diverse supporting program rounds out the cultural offerings of the IKF over the three days.

Culture Connects People
The personal encounter was and is the reason why we organise events. The undisputed importance of live communication is the basis for all our decisions. To emphasise the importance of the face-to-face event as an industry meeting, the IKF identifies with the claim: Culture Connects People - the direct connection of people.
