CampExpo 2026: The B2B trade event for the camping industry continues to grow

2 min read

On October 27 and 28, 2026, Hall 45 in Mainz will become the central meeting point for the German camping industry. CampExpo, Germany’s largest B2B trade fair for campsite operators and suppliers, is entering its next round following its successful premiere – featuring an expanded exhibition area, a high-caliber supporting program, and a strong industry presence. We from PiNCAMP – The camping company of ADAC, ANWB & TCS – will also be present on-site.

From an idea to the leading industry gathering

What started two years ago by founders Dietmar Jankowski and Thomas Arnold as a targeted in-house exhibition has rapidly developed into the most important platform in the B2B camping world. The special feature of the CampExpo concept: It is “by the industry, for the industry.” The goal is to offer campsite operators an affordable, accessible, and practical trade fair on an equal footing.

Following the success of the debut, the 2026 trade fair is moving to a significantly larger venue: In the historic Hall 45, around 6,500 square meters of space will be available, where up to 100 exhibitors will present their products, innovations, and services.

The six focus areas of the trade fair

Operators and decision-makers will find tailored solutions for all requirements of modern campsite operations at CampExpo:

  • Software & Digitalization: PMS, booking portals, online check-in, and digital guest apps.
  • Infrastructure & Access: Modern barrier and license plate recognition systems, fiber optics/Wi-Fi, and utility pillars.
  • Rental & Glamping: Mobile homes, tiny houses, glamping tents, and rental accommodations across a large indoor area.
  • Sanitary Facilities: High-quality washroom units, partition walls, and modern fittings.
  • Marketing & Sales: Strategies for increased visibility and higher occupancy rates.
  • Consulting: Advisory services on energy efficiency, sustainability, and legal matters.

Keynotes, practical tips, and evening networking

In addition to the exhibitor stands, the CampExpo Stage 2026 will offer valuable industry insights on both days of the fair. Key speakers from the field will highlight topics such as:

  • Discoverability in AI systems (such as ChatGPT and Google).
  • Automation and AI deployment in telephone communications and at the reception desk.
  • Energy cost optimization and sustainable management.
  • Labor shortages and recruitment data in the camping sector.

On the evening of the first trade fair day, the CampExpo Night provides an opportunity for relaxed networking with fine food, drinks, DJ sets, and live music.
