Early registration opens for 2026 EIMA International to accommodate surging global demand
The organisers of EIMA International have opened registration for the 48th edition of the agricultural machinery exhibition, which will take place at BolognaFiere from 10 to 14 November 2026, giving manufacturers almost a year to secure space and plan their participation. According to the original report, the booking platform went live this morning, and exhibitors can now specify the surface area and product ranges they intend to display.
FederUnacoma, the Italian Federation of Manufacturers, is running the event and stresses that early registration is designed to manage the high volume of demand the fair has seen in recent years. Industry data shows the previous edition attracted more than 1,800 manufacturers from around 50 countries, underscoring why organisers are moving swiftly to allocate and design exhibition spaces.
The scale of the show is being emphasised: organisers anticipate the exhibition will showcase in excess of 50,000 models of machinery, equipment, and components for agriculture and landscaping, spanning the full spectrum from large tractors to specialised implements and after‑market components. The last edition drew an audience of roughly 350,000 visitors from some 150 countries, a figure organisers cite to underline the event’s global reach.
Once registration concludes, FederUnacoma will begin the detailed organisation of stands and the design coordination necessary to ensure functionality and visual quality across the pavilions. The association highlights that enhanced stand aesthetics and practical layout planning are priorities, aimed at improving exhibitor presentation and visitor navigation. According to the original report, these efforts are partly a response to exhibitors’ expectations for higher standards of both form and function.
A coordinated promotional campaign aimed at the press and the business community is scheduled to start in January. The programme will include conferences and meetings on multiple continents to engage diverse agricultural and economic stakeholders, with a focus on innovation that increases productivity while protecting environmental and natural resources. The event’s public communications describe these activities as part of a wider effort to position EIMA as a platform for sustainable agricultural solutions.
Organisers advise prospective exhibitors to register promptly via the official booking system to secure preferred locations and to begin planning stand layout and logistics well ahead of the November 2026 opening. According to the event website and the original announcement, the extended lead time is intended to accommodate both returning and new exhibitors and to facilitate the complex logistics of a global trade fair of this size.
