Exhibitor registration has opened for A+A 2027, the international trade fair for occupational safety, security and health at work, which will take place in Düsseldorf, Germany, from 19 to 22 October 2027.
Held under the theme “People Matter”, the event will bring together manufacturers, industry experts and end users to showcase innovations aimed at improving workplace safety, health and sustainable prevention.
Focus on the future of work
A+A 2027 will examine how organisations are responding to major workplace changes driven by digitalisation, artificial intelligence, automation, demographic shifts, new ways of working and climate change.
The exhibition will highlight solutions that strengthen the relationship between people, technology and the working environment, while also promoting sustainable approaches aligned with circular economy principles.
Visitors will have the opportunity to explore intelligent personal protective equipment, wearable technologies, exoskeletons, digital assistance systems, AI supported applications, advanced materials and new developments in workwear.
Daniel Feische, Director of A+A and the Occupational Safety and Health Portfolio, said: “A+A is the international meeting point for the occupational safety sector.
“The success of the previous event attracting some 2,340 exhibitors from 70 countries and to the tune of 67,000 trade visitors from 150 nations underscores its global reach.
“It provides business with the ideal platform for presenting innovations, making international contacts and tapping into new markets. We look forward to welcoming the sector to Düsseldorf again in 2027.”
Live demonstrations and industry forums
Alongside the exhibition, a programme of live features will showcase emerging technologies and practical applications.
These will include the EXO PARK, the A+A Trend Forum, and live demonstrations covering fire protection and emergency management.
The event will also feature the A+A Fashion Show, highlighting developments in workwear and corporate clothing, with a focus on innovative materials, sustainability and design.
40th International A+A Congress
Running alongside the exhibition, the International A+A Congress will mark its 40th edition in 2027.
Held under the theme “Prevention Secures Stability: Occupational Safety as a Key to Companies’ Crisis Resilience”, the congress will bring together national and international occupational safety professionals to discuss topics including digitalisation, new working processes, skills development and the VISION ZERO prevention strategy.
This Congress is organised by the Federal Association for Occupational Safety and Health (“Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft für Sicherheit und Gesundheit bei der Arbeit” – Basi).
Managing Director of Basi, Dr. Christian Felten, said: “Occupational safety is not a cost factor but a stability factor. Companies that invest in prevention, promote their performance and their employees’ health – in everyday life as much as in times of crisis.”
Stefan Brück, Chief Executive Officer of the Uvex Group and Chairman of the A+A advisory board, said: “A+A is the global event in the PPE sector and has now developed into a brand in its own right.
“We plan our innovation roadmap accordingly and meet customers here from throughout the world; it is the most important event every two years.”
