INTERGALVA IN THE BENELUX 9-14 JUNE 2024

Intergalva - background

The Intergalva series of international conferences has usually been held every three years since 1950. Intergalva 2024 will be the 27th International Conference. An important feature of recent events is the greater relative importance of the trade fair held alongside the conference. Intergalva was last held in the Netherlands in June 2003 at RAI Amsterdam.

Recommended location and dates for Intergalva

2024

EGGA and ZIB have previously agreed that it is desirable to return to the “pre-COVID” planned dates of June 2024 - i.e., the postponement of Intergalva 2021 to 2022 will not affect the planning of Intergalva 2024 - which on this occasion means a two-year cycle.

The proposed specific dates of June 9-14, 2024 are based on three factors:

- Availability of the BMCC venue.

- Later dates coincide with greater tourist activity in Bruges

- Avoidance of some European national holidays in early June

EGGA and ZIB reviewed 22 options, including 5 site visits.

After careful review against EGGA’s selection criteria, there is a clear recommendation for BMCC Brugge (Bruges Exhibition, Meeting and Congress Center). The main advantages over other options are:

- 4500m2 exhibition space - at ground level with easy access for installations and equipment in one space

- Within walking distance of historic downtown with extensive bars/restaurants

- Modern facilities

- Reliable contract partner / contract terms
