About AgriMesse

The AgriMesse is the Swiss Trade Fair for Agriculture, Forest & Forestry and takes place annually on the fairgrounds of the Thun-Expo in Thun. It is organized under the patronage of the Swiss Agrotechnical Association SAV (Association Agrotechnique Suisse AAS); a fair commission responsible for fair management, infrastructure, livestock exhibition as well as advertising and communication is in charge of the execution. Over four fair days, around 190 exhibitors present their products and services on more than 16,000 square meters; the grounds comprise 8 halls, an open-air area and the Alte Reithalle (Old Riding Hall). With a constant attendance of around 20,000 visitors, the fair has developed into an important meeting point for Swiss agriculture. Fair management is held by Christoph Studer; the head office is located in Güttingen. The next edition takes place from March 4 to 7, 2027.
