The people behind the Intermot Cologne bike show and other trade fairs have given their chief operating officer another five years in the role. Oliver Frese, who’s been in the job since 2020, will stay at the company until the end of 2029.
“Over the past few years, Oliver Frese has not only guided the Cologne event portfolio through the difficult phase of the Covid pandemic but has also introduced a new operating model in the market-focused areas of sales, services and marketing communications”, says Gerald Böse, CEO at Koelnmesse.
“The development and expansion of highly attractive trade fair formats and concepts for Cologne is something that’s right at the top of my agenda for the coming years”, said Frese. “My aim is for Koelnmesse events to remain unmissable dates in the diaries for more than 50,000 currently exhibiting companies, but to also make them the place to be for new exhibitors and partners.”
Intermot has changed its event date to 5-8 December, for 2024. More information can be found by visiting: www.intermot-cologne.com.
