Christopher Boss is to succeed founder Michael Rambach at the helm of trendfairs, the organiser subsidiary of NürnbergMesse, on 1 January 2026. Trendfairs specialises in top-level B2B exhibitions in the Interior, Lifestyle and Technology sectors.

After heading trendfairs for more than 15 years, Rambach is stepping aside to focus on personal projects and will also transfer his shares in the company to NürnbergMesse.

“For many years, Christopher Boss has been a dedicated member of the NürnbergMesse management, and combines experience with a strategic outlook,” said Dr Maximilian Maier, VP strategy and portfolio at NürnbergMesse. “We are pleased that he and his team will take trendfairs successfully forward, and that he will make full use of the wide range of synergies available within the NürnbergMesse Group.”

Boss is also looking forward to the new challenges: “Like NürnbergMesse, trendfairs embodies a strong team spirit, close customer relationships and entrepreneurial drive. My thanks go to Michael Rambach and NürnbergMesse for the confidence they have shown in me, and I will build on trendfairs’ success with renewed energy.”

Boss has extensive experience in the exhibition sector. Following ten years at Messe Karlsruhe, he spent an equal period in leading roles at NürnbergMesse, most recently as executive director of the international trade fair EUROGUSS and as managing director of MedtecLIVE GmbH.

Until he takes on his new role, Boss will continue to head EUROGUSS, Europe’s largest trade fair for all aspects of die casting.

Marcel Mönkemöller will succeed Boss as a member of the Supervisory Board of NürnbergMesse GmbH.
In 2024 trendfairs was incorporated into NürnbergMesse Group as a subsidiary and operates as an autonomous organiser of special exhibitions with a staff of ten.
