Das durch Kaiser Maximilian I. 1497 verliehene Reichsmesseprivileg macht Leipzig zur ältesten Messestadt der Welt und zu einem international renommierten Anziehungspunkt für Händler und Besucher.
Die Messe befindet sich in dem bis 1996 gebauten neuen Messegelände etwa sieben Kilometer vom Stadtzentrum entfernt am nördlichen Stadtrand im Stadtteil Seehausen. Die Glashalle des neuen Messegeländes erhielt 2000 den "Outstanding Structure Award" der IABSE (International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering).
