PSI’s move to Cologne is taking shape: following the successful finalisation of all contractual and organisational arrangements, RX Germany and Koelncongress GmbH have now signed the contracts for the staging of PSI at the Koelnmesse exhibition centre.
This paves the way for the first PSI in Cologne, which will take place from 12 to 14 January 2027. Back in August, RX Germany had already announced that Europe’s leading trade fair for the promotional products industry would be relocating from Düsseldorf to Cologne after more than 60 years.
“By signing this contract, we are marking the next important milestone for the future of PSI,” says Michael Köhler, Managing Director of RX Deutschland GmbH. “Together with Koelnmesse, we are laying the foundations to further strengthen the trade fair’s international focus and to provide the industry with a strong platform in the long term. We look forward to working together and continuing the success story of PSI in Cologne.”
In Cologne, too, there is great anticipation for this collaboration. “We are delighted to be able to welcome PSI to Cologne in future,” explains Ralf Nüsser, Managing Director of Koelncongress GmbH. “The trade fair is a strong addition to our venue and fits perfectly with Cologne’s profile as a media, communications and creative hub. We are convinced that PSI will provide fresh impetus here and benefit from an inspiring environment.”
PSI brings the international promotional products industry together every year and is regarded as a key meeting place for retailers, finishers, agencies, manufacturers and importers. The move to Cologne and the new date in mid-January are intended, in particular, to further improve the international conditions for exhibitors and visitors.
