history
IFAT took place for the first time from September 5 to 9, 1966, when 1,400 wastewater experts from 43 countries met in Munich for the “Third International Conference on Water Pollution Research”. The Abwassertechnische Vereinigung (ATV), the predecessor organization of today's DWA , organized the congress. 147 exhibitors from nine countries and 10,200 visitors from 40 nations took part in an area of 18,000 square meters. The share of international exhibitors is 48 percent.
The exhibition portfolio of the I nternational F achmesse for A bwasser t echnology was the adjusted to the changing environmental challenges in the course: In 1970, the offer was extended to include the area of waste management, in 1980 the theme of the road and winter maintenance for cities and municipalities was added. Ten years later, in addition to the wastewater sector, water supply was also discussed. Thermal and biological waste recycling has also been considered since 2000.
In 2010, Entsorga, the international trade fair for waste management, water management and environmental technology, which had been taking place in Cologne until then, was merged with IFAT. The fair moved from that date the three-year cycle in the two-year cycle The name "IFAT Entsorga" in the meantime used was changed to the simple name of IFAT, which differs from the original trade name I nternational F achmesse for A bwasser t echnology derives.
The trade fair is aimed at representatives of municipalities and industry as well as trade, science and research.
