It is IBRA time at last!
Initially announced in 2018 as IBRA 2021, the World Philatelic Exhibition was granted FEPA recognition in 2018 and FIP patronage in 2019. In July 2020, the organisers sent out a press release saying that IBRA would be postponed because of the corona pandemic. To avoid overlaps or a too tight schedule of exhibitions in 2022, they looked directly at 2023.
IBRA 2023 will welcome its visitors at the exhibition centre of Essen (Messe Essen) from Thursday, 25 May, to Sunday, 28 May. Show highlights include:
- 3600 Exhibition frames
- 242 Literature entries
- Grand Prix Club display
- IBRA Treasury
- Mythos Germania
- Jewels of German Philately
- 100 years of inflation
- German-American Salon
- Meetings of Clubs, Study Groups and Associations
- Presentations at the Forum Philatelie
- Literature area
- Youth Action Centre
- Dealers, Post Offices and Agencies
