Because business is made by people…

INHOUSE² stands for exchange, inspiration, and new perspectives. This year, we want to take this idea a step further: we want our trade fair to feel open, welcoming, and family-friendly.

That’s why INHOUSE² in Bochum will feature an area for little explorers for the first time. It is deliberately designed as a quiet zone and discovery area—a place to paint, play, and take a breather. Not with official childcare, but as a sign that family is part of life – including the professional environment.

It is important to us to emphasize that we want all visitors to feel welcome, regardless of what their everyday life looks like right now. Some may come with their families, others without. Both are perfectly fine.

And we are sure that our exhibitors will also be delighted to see curious children at their stands. Trade fairs thrive on exchange, curiosity, and new perspectives, and sometimes this is exactly where the first sparkling ideas for tomorrow are born.

After all, who knows: trade fairs are places full of impressions, products, stories, and conversations. For children, this can be an exciting world. Perhaps even their first glimpse into an industry in which they will one day forge their own paths.

INHOUSE² aims to be a place where networking remains human, where curiosity is welcome, and where all generations can feel at home.

We look forward to a trade fair that creates space for encounters — for today and for tomorrow.
