The fair is divided into several themed areas. Hall 19 is home to the “LIFESTYLE” section, where fashion, furniture, art, design, accessories, and culinary offerings are presented. In Hall 21, the “Markthalle” invites visitors to discover culinary specialties, delicacies, and kitchen utensils. Beauty and wellness products as well as yoga, Pilates, and relaxation workshops can be found in Hall 23, while Hall 24 is dedicated to “Christmas,” Germany's most beautiful Christmas world. Christmas decorations, gift items, and handicrafts are on offer there. Hall 23 is also home to the “Basar der Nationen” (Bazaar of Nations), which traditionally showcases an international range of handicrafts and specialties. Those interested in building, living, modernizing, and furnishing will find the right contacts in Halls 20 and 22. The outdoor area will be complemented by food trucks offering trendy street food specialties.

In addition to the familiar themed areas, infa offers several special formats, each of which takes place on specific days or weekends. The first weekend of the fair (October 11 to 12) will see the grand classic car parade on the outdoor grounds, and the infalino baby fair will open in Hall 25. There, expectant parents and young families can find information and products related to pregnancy, birth, and toddlers. From October 11 to 13 and October 17 to 19, infa will be held in Hall 21 with a regional focus. The spotlight will be on regional suppliers presenting food, beverages, and handmade products.

Hobbyists will get their money's worth at infa kreativ in Hall 25 from October 17 to 19. Workshops and hands-on activities related to painting, sewing, and crafts form the core of this area. New this year is the “Entkorkte Kunst” (Uncorked Art) format, where visitors can create pictures under expert guidance. Both short 45-minute workshops and two-hour painting sessions are offered, each with stimulating wine accompaniment. Separate tickets are required for this.

Also new: the gourmet lounge, which will celebrate its premiere on the first weekend of the fair. On October 11 and 12, the focus here will be on beverage tastings. Visitors can sample various wines, craft beers, and spirits such as gin, whiskey, and rum, and receive advice from experts. Those who want to delve deeper into the subject can book special tastings with proven connoisseurs to gain the relevant expertise.

This year, the fair is placing special emphasis on Grow & Glow Day, which will take place on Friday, October 17. The focus will be on the visibility of women in various areas of society. Panels, discussion rounds, and keynotes are planned on topics such as professional development, health, finance, self-determination, and social participation. The aim is to provide women with a networking platform and to raise public awareness of issues that affect them.

In addition to the various themed areas, infa offers an extensive supporting program with lectures, cooking demonstrations, cultural contributions, and hands-on activities. The fair thus appeals to a broad audience seeking information, advice, and entertainment.

The event is organized by Deutsche Messe AG. Opening hours are daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tickets are available online in advance. Tickets also entitle holders to use public transportation in the greater Hanover area.
