2026 IPPE Update on Winter Weather Advisory in Atlanta

An ice storm warning and cold weather advisory has been issued for metro Atlanta through 10 a.m. EST Monday, January 26. The safety of our attendees and exhibitors is our top priority, and we continue to closely monitor conditions using guidance from the National Weather Service, local and state emergency management agencies, and Georgia World Congress Center safety officials. Updates from the National Weather Service can be found here.

The 2026 IPPE show dates are Jan. 27 – 29. IPPE set-up is progressing, with extended move-in hours as part of our proactive efforts to stay ahead of the anticipated weather-related disruptions.

We encourage everyone to review our Weather FAQ for helpful planning information. Continued updates will be communicated through official IPPE channels, including email and text alerts to registered participants, the IPPE website, social media platforms, the 2026 IPPE app and onsite announcements.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to welcoming you to Atlanta.
