intersana 2024: Welcome to good health!

The intersana health trade fair is the “go to” live event in Augsburg and the region for everything on the topic of health. It showcases the latest trends and a health-conscious lifestyle. The trade fair was held again last year with the launch of a new concept that thrilled exhibitors and visitors alike. The trade fair has some great things planned for 2024. From Friday, May 3 to Sunday, May 5, Hall 5 of Messe Augsburg will once again be transformed into a world of experiences around a healthy lifestyle. This year, “intersana – the live event for my health” will once again welcome prominent speakers, top-class exhibitors and a brand new feature; the intersana check-ups and a new range of themes.

Provide new motivations for a sustainable and healthy lifestyle, learn about some exciting medical findings, experience action-packed participation activities and gain direct, specialist knowledge from top speakers from all over Germany - the "intersana - the live event for my health" - will again set standards in health in 2024. After its successful relaunch in 2023, the focus of the 2024 health trade fair is again on the current trends in the sector. Visitors can look forward to discovering the latest on physical and mental health, care and prevention, fitness trends and exercise in everyday life as well as tips on pregnancy, food trends, children's health and new features around natural healing methods and natural cosmetics. Naturopathy was added to the range of topics this year after popular demand from visitors.

“The whole perception of health has undergone a significant change in recent years,” says Lorenz A. Rau, CEO of Messe Augsburg, “Prevention, a balanced diet, numerous sporting activities and exercise all contribute to a healthy life. And these are precisely the topics addressed by the intersana health trade fair with its five theme worlds: medicine, sports, nutrition, family and naturopathy, thus providing valuable information to anyone who wants to improve their own health. intersana focuses on information, discovery and participation, and has something to offer to all age groups.”

Fun and action guaranteed in the supporting program of intersana 2024

The varied supporting program at intersana 2024 aims to motivate people to maintain and boost their wellbeing through a health-conscious lifestyle. Visitors will be encouraged to take part in the action-packed program that includes a wide range of hands-on activities. Among others, the BRK blood donation services will be on site with a blood donation campaign, the Trautz and Salmen dance school will invite you to strut your stuff on the dance floor, or you can join community runs organized by Absolute Run Augsburg.

Another innovation this year are the intersana check-ups, which will help visitors get the most from their visit to the trade fair. All the offers at the trade fair around prevention are listed in the form of a checklist, and you can quickly and easily see all the exhibitor products and services you can try for yourself.


Prominent speakers will be talking about health

But the “intersana – the live event for my health” program will not only impress with its action-packed events, but also with top-class speakers who have announced they will be attending in 2024. Health expert Patric Heizmann, TV chef Christian Henze, boxer Tina Rupprecht and medfluencer Doc Felix will also be taking part. “Health is a subject that has come increasingly under the microscope in recent years. We are therefore doing our utmost this year to ensure we offer our visitors an even wider selection of products and services,” says Matthias Schmid, General Manager of advertising marketing at the Pressedruck media group, which is co-organizing intersana 2024 with Messe Augsburg.

Patric Heizmann is one of Germany's best-known nutrition and fitness expert, and he will be raising visitors’ awareness of a positive body image in his presentation at the live event on the opening day. TV star chef Christian Henze will present his culinary mission at a live cooking event on Saturday, May 4, and WBC boxing world champ Tina Rupprecht will be inviting visitors to lace up the boxing gloves themselves on Sunday, May 5.

Medfluencer Felix M. Berndt, better known as Doc Felix, will also share his medical knowledge at intersana 2024. Approx. 680,000 people tune in to hear his advice on Instagram and Doc Felix also has loyal followers on YouTube, TikTok & co. You can also look forward to his tips about a healthy lifestyle on Sunday, May 5.
