IFCO 2026, the Istanbul Fashion Connection, brings the industry to Istanbul, Turkey from 19 August 2026 to 21 August 2026. Drawing exhibitors and trade visitors from across the supply chain, it offers a focused environment for sourcing and business development. IFCO 2026 is held on an annual basis. A truly international crowd of about 30000 attendees is expected. Everything comes together under the roof of Istanbul Expo Center, a venue that handles events of this size with ease.

Set against the backdrop of Istanbul, IFCO 2026 benefits from everything the city has to offer — from its transport links to its after-hours appeal. Good airport access and reliable local transit make the journey to Istanbul a low-stress one. Istanbul's hotels span the full spectrum, so whether you want frills or just a good night's sleep, you are covered. Leave a little time to explore: Istanbul's dining, culture and attractions make the trip about more than just the event. Istanbul is among the most prominent event cities in Turkey, making it a natural choice for a gathering of this kind.

Category by category, Fashion, Fashion Trends, Apparels, Clothing and Fashion, Beauty & Lifestyle fill the stands, giving sourcing teams a clear read on the current market. Beyond the stands, the event creates natural opportunities to connect with buyers, partners and suppliers from across the sector. Whether over a scheduled meeting or a chance hallway chat, connections form easily here.

You arrive with a shortlist and leave with suppliers, samples and a plan for the season ahead. Put simply, IFCO 2026 is where producers, resellers and category buyers go to do a season's business in a matter of days.

First-timers in particular benefit from a quick look at the floor plan or agenda beforehand, so no key session slips by.
