Step by step to your trade-fair stand
The following topics contain a brief explanation of the most important steps in the organisation of your trade-fair participation after the exhibitor application, e.g. regarding the placement process, stand building and equipment as well als invoicing.
After the start of allocation of stands, you will receive a stand proposal by e-mail to the correspondence contact named in the application.
- Check this proposal carefully, especially with regard to location, stand type and size.
- If everything meets your expectations, you can confirm your stand space by clicking on the "Accept" button, thus concluding a binding contract.
- If you wish a different placement, please click the "Decline" button and describe your preferred placement request in as much detail as possible. We will do our best to provide you with a new placement proposal within the possibilities.
The stand space booked via the online application does not include stand building. You have the following alternatives to build your stand:
- using your own stand, naturally taking into account the technical guidelines; you can add services from the Exhibitor Shop, such as electricity
- ordering equipment such as flooring, partition walls, furniture, etc. individually via the Exhibitor Shop
- commissioning a stand builder, e.g. meplan
- booking the LOPEC stand package, which includes all necessary basic services except the stand space (see Exhibitor Shop)
Submit any necessary documentation to the Technical Exhibitor Service, if one of the following cases applies:
- The stand or advertising height is over 3m (stand plan).
- The stand or advertising height is over 3m (stand plan).
- The stand size is over 100sqm (stand plan).
- If there are covered stand areas (stand plan).
- A vehicle is exhibited (Form 1.2 "Application for Preventive Fire Protection Measures").

- If a different invoice recipient is desired, the exhibition management must be informed by e-mail as early as possible and a corresponding form must be requested, completed and returned.
- Co-exhibitors may not specify a different invoice recipient.
- Subsequent invoice changes will be invoiced at 50 EUR.
- Approx. 4 to 6 weeks after the fair, exhibitors will receive the final invoice. Here, the item "Advance payment for services" listed on the admission invoice will be taken into account.
