This year’s edition will carry the Industrial spirit. “ITEP will present various industrial targets. In its extensive exhibition, the Pilsen area will, among other things, present a functional seismic station prepared in collaboration with the Institute of Geophysics of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. Visitors will see, for example, a model of the first seismic device from the year 132,” said Libor Picka, member of the Pilsen County council for culture, heritage preservation and tourism. “The main partner of the exhibition, the Moravian-Silesian Region, will also offer interesting exhibitions. It will display various technical monuments and examples of local crafts. “In the exposition you will find interesting non-traditional things, for example models of mining towers,” he added.
A special exhibition is also being prepared by the Nevřeň Caolinum Center – a unique technical monument, where the kaolin mine where the fairy tale Čertí brko was filmed is located. ITEP visitors will be able to glimpse the world of nuclear energy with the Atomic Museum. There is a traditional program for tourists, interesting exhibitors from the Czech Republic and abroad with various tourist destinations, new publications, maps, brochures.
ITEP will bring a new dimension of experience! We don’t just invite tourists, said Libor Picka
Outdoor exhibits are new this year. Here you can see historic and specially modified buses and caravans, as well as off-road expedition vehicles. “The actor and passionate traveler Lukáš Langmajer will also come with an off-road vehicle, who will share with visitors his experience of traveling through wild and unrestrained Albania. Visitors can also taste the special IpaTEP beer, which we brewed for the exhibition. We will even have our own ITEP 2023 tourist business card. “It will be inaugurated at the stand of the Czech Fairy Tale Academy,” another Picka news list.
The biggest attraction is the interactive industrial trail Itepák. Those who make it through will get a giant inflatable ring from Paradise Tourists special edition. On each day of the fair, there will also be a draw for a wonderful top prize, for example a sailing voucher on the Bolevák or a family ticket to the Techmania Science Center or the Finále Pilsen film festival.
Pilsen County prepared a special educational program for schools for this year’s fair. “On Thursday 21 and Friday 22 September we are preparing lectures, workshops in interactive exhibitions and competitions with very attractive prizes for elementary, middle and high school level 2 students,” added Libor Picka.
