Orgatec 2026 will introduce its first-ever central theme, marking a strategic shift in how the leading workplace trade fair approaches the design of work and contract environments.
Taking place in Cologne from 27 to 30 October 2026, the event will centre around the theme: "From rooms to relationships: designing spaces in an ever-changing world." The concept places people and their interactions at the core of workplace design, reflecting the growing importance of adaptability and human experience.

With this new direction, Orgatec aims to move beyond purely functional environments, exploring how spaces can foster meaningful connections and collaboration while remaining flexible in the face of constant change.
The 2026 edition will focus on two key megatrends: human-to-human experience and transition, highlighting the need for workplaces and public environments that can evolve alongside shifting social, technological and organisational demands.
Visitors can expect a programme featuring innovative solutions, practical tools and forward-thinking design concepts, all geared toward creating future-proof spaces that balance functionality with emotional and social value.
By introducing a unifying theme for the first time, Orgatec positions itself as a platform not only for product innovation but also for rethinking the role of space in shaping relationships and experiences in the modern world.
