The IFBA in 2005 offered a new highlight in addition to the well-known halls: For the first time, the exhibitors invited all visitors to a trade fair party in the evening. This innovation was gladly accepted and the party went on until late at night. In 2007, the IFBA in Kassel was able to record the growth of two more halls. The halls 3 and 11 were added to the previously used halls. The hall 11 was completely in the topic oil trail and so had the providers of the oil trace elimination also a specially designed practice area, the oil trail available.
