IMEX Frankfurt is the leading global trade show for the meetings, incentives, conferences and events (MICE) industry, held at Messe Frankfurt each May. Fittingly for an events crowd, smooth logistics matter — here is how to handle your airport transport.
IMEX Frankfurt: Dates
IMEX is an annual May fixture. The 2026 edition ran from 19 to 21 May 2026, and the next edition is confirmed for 11 to 13 May 2027, preceded by a free day of specialist education on Monday 10 May. It is a three-day show that draws event professionals worldwide.
From the Airport to the Halls
Messe Frankfurt is around 12 km from Frankfurt Airport, roughly 15–20 minutes by car off-peak. A fixed-price private transfer takes you door-to-door, with your driver meeting you in arrivals. See our airport-to-Messe guide.
For Event Professionals and Delegations
You plan flawless events for a living — your own arrival should match.
For hosted buyers, delegations and teams, a Business Class car or a Business Van sets the right tone, and daily transfers keep the schedule tight.
Pricing
Transfers are fixed-price from €45 for the standard car, agreed before travel and unaffected by fair-week surges. See all routes and pricing.
Plan Ahead
- Plan flights around the confirmed 2027 dates (11–13 May), plus Monday 10 May if you are attending the education day.
- Book early — May is a busy fair month in Frankfurt.
- Confirm your terminal: Terminal 2 closed to passengers on 9 June 2026, so all flights use Terminal 1 or the new Terminal 3.
IMEX days are scheduled to the minute, and your transport should be too: our chauffeur service for Messe Frankfurt runs on fixed slots — airport, hotel, halls, dinner — so no meeting waits on a taxi queue.
