Furthermore, the HIGH END SOCIETY Service GmbH is also the central contact for the international audio scene and considers itself to be a service provider for an entire industry.
THE HIGH END – THE LEADING INTERNATIONAL AUDIO SHOW
The HIGH END was created by our founding members at the beginning of the 1980s and has since established itself as the leading international show for hi-fi, high-end technology and sophisticated sound experience. After starting out as a small event held in a hotel, namely the Kempinski in Frankfurt, until 2003, it developed into the world’s largest show for high-end products. From 2004 to 2025, companies from all over the globe have been showcasing their new products and innovations in the four halls and two atriums of the MOC Event Center in Munich. In 2026 the HIGH END moves to the Austria Center Vienna (ACV). Every year, industry experts, press representatives and consumers all look forward to this fixed date in their diaries as an industry highlight that simply cannot be missed.
THE IPS – INTERNATIONAL PARTS + SUPPLY – THE INTERNATIONAL OEM SHOW for the audio industry
The IPS perfectly complements the HIGH END, which has developed into the largest international hi-fi show and enjoys tremendous significance and international popularity within the audio industry. Manufacturers of supply parts for the audio industry will be provided with a special exhibition area in the Austria Center Vienna (ACV), alongside the HIGH END, offering an ideal platform for establishing more intensive contact with their customers and optimally showcasing their products tailored to their target group.
The entire world of hi-fi experts and professionals meet at the ACV exhibition grounds. Two trade visitor days will give exhibitors the perfect chance to plan their B2B meetings with no stress and without being pressed for time. Parts manufacturer and supplier can immensely benefit from these conditions, because their customers are already there.
THE FINEST AUDIO SHOW
With the FINEST AUDIO SHOW, we'll be keeping up with our long-standing tradition of organizing national and regional hi-fi shows and exhibitions. We carefully select suitable locations offering ideal conditions and a perfect stage for product presentations and music performances. At our trade shows, leading exhibitors showcase everything that makes high-end music reproduction possible: from turntables, through tube amplifiers and proven two-channel technology, right down to headphones. The latest streaming solutions are also more and more frequently represented. At the FINEST AUDIO SHOW, it's all about a passion for excellent listening pleasure at its peak, with which we seek to delight a broad-based audience.
WORLD OF HEADPHONES – THE THE HEADPHONE FAIR
WORLD OF HEADPHONES has established itself in recent years as a regional headphone trade fair specializing in headphones, portable audio, and modern music listening.
Visitors can experience, test, and compare the latest models from leading brands live—from wireless in-ear headphones to high-end over-ear headphones.
In addition to a large selection of headphones, exhibitors also present matching accessories such as headphone amplifiers, D/A converters, and streaming solutions. The trade fair is aimed at music lovers and technology fans as well as professional users who value the highest sound quality.
