IDS 2025
March 25-29, 2025
IDS in Cologne is the premier global show and one of the major trade events for the entire dental industry. The show is being staged biannually. In 2023, IDS celebrated two milestones: the show’s 100th anniversary since its lounge in 1923 when the show was a small industry gathering with 29 exhibitors held in the Berlin Zoo; and the 40th edition as the leading global trade fair taking place on the Cologne fairgrounds. Traditionally, IDS hosts a large USA Pavilion. The U.S. contingent of 120+ firms is being co-recruited by the U.S. Dental Trade Alliance (DTA) as well as Cologne Messe North America. IDS 2025 is scheduled to host 2,000+ exhibitors from 65 countries, 160,000 trade visitors, and a gross exhibition space of 180,000 square meters.
