Program highlights and thematic pillars
The trade fair presents specialist programming and awards such as the denkmal Gold Medals. Five thematic pillars guide the exhibition and sessions, covering historical materials, conservation methods, climate-adaptive measures, monument documentation and the role of new technologies in restoration. MUTEC and Lehmbau add practical demonstrations during the first two days.

Sales prospecting and networking tips
Target your prospecting to manufacturers and technical offices listed in the exhibitor directory. Book meetings ahead, arrive during stand build-up to secure focused time, and prepare concise technical briefs. Focus routes on halls dedicated to historic materials and roofing systems to maximize contact with suppliers aligned to conservation projects.
How to present your offer at the fair
Bring physical samples when possible and prepare two presentation formats: a technical summary and a cost/timeline proposal. Visual documentation of past projects helps place the scope of work. If institutional partnerships are a goal, identify associations and professional bodies attending and request meetings through the matchmaking channels.
Denkmal 2026 emphasises responsible conservation and climate-aware approaches to historic buildings.
