Considering the dates of the exhibition held in the same sector in different countries of the world and in Europe and the achievements of the sector, an exhibition calendar was determined for the IGM to be held in odd-numbered years. It has been announced that the exhibition will be held in 2023 and in the following odd-numbered years (such as 2025-2027) so that companies will not be under the burden of the exhibition in terms of both time and budget by participating in more than one exhibition in the same year.
