Germany's camping and outdoor hospitality market just reached an all-time record of 44.7 million overnight stays. And one of the fastest-growing segments is premium accommodation, including tiny houses and wellness concepts.

That's exactly why we're looking forward to NEW HOUSING 2026 in Karlsruhe.

From 26–28 June, you'll find the Iglucraft team at Hall 1, Stand C10, where we'll be discussing how developers, hospitality operators, and investors are creating new revenue streams with premium sauna and accommodation experiences.

A few highlights from our schedule:

Friday, 26 June – Investor Day

We're participating in the exclusive Business Day, bringing together investors, developers, tourism operators, and hospitality professionals for focused conversations. If you're interested in partnering with Iglucraft or exploring investment opportunities, we'd be happy to meet.

Saturday, 27 June at 12:00 – Tiny Talk

Join us for "How to Be Successful with Iglucraft", where we'll share real projects, real numbers, and practical insights from successful sauna and tiny house businesses.
The presentation will be followed by a live Q&A session and recorded for later publication on YouTube.

Sunday, 28 June from 10:00–13:30 – Business Brunch

We're hosting a business brunch at Stand C10 for developers, investors, and hospitality entrepreneurs interested in learning more about working with Iglucraft. Attendance is welcome by prior appointment, and places are limited.

If you're attending NEW HOUSING this year, stop by and say hello.

We'd love to hear about your projects and explore how we might work together.
