Bildungsmesse Zurich

The Education Fair is one of the most prominent continuing education events in Switzerland. Since its inception in 2004, it has been held annually in the impressive main hall of Zurich’s central train station. The event serves as a focused platform for showcasing topics related to school, education, and professional development – a place where education comes to life. Organized by apv communications GmbH, a renowned Swiss company based in Othmarsingen, the fair benefits from the expertise of a firm specialized in communication and event management, known for delivering high-quality professional events.

What sets the Education Fair apart is its central location, diverse content, and consistent commitment to sustainability. Situated in the heart of Zurich, it is easily accessible – whether by public transport or on foot. Hosting the event in the train station also sends a strong message about ecological responsibility: 100% of the electricity used is sourced from hydropower in the Swiss Alps, making the fair one of the most environmentally friendly in the country.

The fair offers a wide-ranging program: from academic degree courses at universities and universities of applied sciences to practice-oriented training and continuing education in fields such as tourism, hospitality, healthcare, and e-commerce, as well as in areas like management, IT, languages, and creative crafts. Interdisciplinary subjects such as sex education, sex therapy, and financial literacy are also represented. This unique breadth makes the Education Fair a concentrated reflection of the Swiss education system – rarely can such a comprehensive and hands-on educational offering be experienced in one place.

More than 100 exhibitors – including institutions like the University of Zurich, ZHAW, HWZ, the KV Zurich Business School, and specialized providers such as FinanceMission, the Institute for Sex Education, or the School for E-Commerce – present their latest programs, offer personal consultations, and encourage direct interaction. This makes the Education Fair a relevant platform for professionals, students, those interested in continuing education, HR managers, and experts from the education sector.

A key feature of the fair is not only the wide variety of offerings but also the opportunity for direct contact with experts. Visitors can actively plan their educational paths and gain new inspiration for their professional futures. The Education Fair is more than just an exhibition – it is a vibrant public space of learning that inspires thousands of people every year. Thanks to its central location in Switzerland’s busiest train station, it is easily, accessibly, and sustainably reached – a powerful place for powerful education.

The Bildungsmesse takes place annually, and therefore for the 24th time previsibly in May 2026 in Zurich.
