IVS 2024 Ends with Record Numbers!

The fifth edition of the Industrial Valve Summit closed with a new record number of visitors, exhibitors, and number of scientific conferences.

Giovanna Ricuperati, President of Confindustria Bergamo: "IVS has fully achieved its objective of drawing more and more attention to a cutting-edge sector that is experiencing great change"

Luciano Patelli, Promoberg President: “Having drawn so many visitors has allowed us to better promote our territory also in a tourism perspective.”

The date is set for the sixth edition of the Summit at Fiera di Bergamo from May 19 to 21, 2026.

The fifth edition of IVS Industrial Valve Summit, the most important international event dedicated to industrial valve technologies and flow control solutions, closed with record numbers. The event, promoted by Confindustria Bergamo and Promoberg, was held at the Bergamo Exhibition Centre from 14th to 16th May 2024.

The fifth edition of the Summit closed with a final influx of 15,000 visitors from 69 countries. Attendance, representing all five continents, was 25% higher than during the Summit's fourth edition, when the city of Bergamo attracted 12,000 guests. The protagonists of IVS 2024 were the 325 exhibitors (+13% compared to the 2022 edition) from 14 countries: besides Italy, the companies represented the sectors of Germany, Great Britain, the United States of America, France, Denmark, Spain, the Netherlands, Norway, the United Arab Emirates, South Africa, Turkey, Niger, and the Czech Republic. The international element proved to be in great turmoil, with foreign companies doubling in number compared to the fourth edition and reaching 20% of the total number of exhibitors.

The extensive IVS scientific programme is also undergoing great development. A space that has proved over the years to be an 'agora' where to interpret change and delve into the latest technological innovations, identifying and analysing the challenges of the industry. IVS 2024 offered 52 events including conferences, roundtables, workshops, case studies and laboratories, constituting a plan more than 50% larger than the 34 in-depth technical events of IVS 2022. To support the increased schedule, the Summit organisers built two additional conference rooms in Pavilion C.

The event also consolidated the exhibition areas, covering more than 15,000 square metres in three pavilions. These numbers tell how IVS has established itself as an essential showcase for the entire global supply chain connected to industrial valves and flow control.

On the occasion of the 2024 edition, the organisers boosted the qualitative growth of the event, increased the number of appointments in the exhibition programme and enriched the side events, leading the Industrial Valve Summit to grow from a two-day exhibition to a full-fledged valve week.
