Donation Room

The IBC2025 Donation Room Initiative was a success!

Our good cause post-show waste donation programme is an initiative in which our exhibitors play a key role.

Each year, exhibitors are invited to hand in unwanted items at the end of the show.

These items are then distributed among various social initiatives in the Amsterdam region.

The 2025 initiative was a huge success thanks to all our exhibitors!

We did not count the donated items. It was a lot.

All the collected items were donated to the Salvation Army this year. 2 big vans and 2 trucks full of donated items.

What was donated:

  • Many shopping carts full of soft drinks, water and snacks
  • Furniture, from tables and chairs to lamps and even a couch
  • 4 television and 4 monitors
  • A garden of plants
  • A great diversity of balls (soccer, basket, tennis etc.)
