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.
Please refer to the "Exhibitor Information A–Z" for more on-site information (Available as of January 2025).
1. Placement process—find your perfect exhibition space
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.
Once you have confirmed your stand proposal, you will receive your admission invoice from November 2024. Further information can be found under “6. Invoicing - Admission and final invoice”.2. Stand building—Designing the perfect stand
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).

4. Your entry in the LOPEC Exhibitor Directory and Visitor Guide
Your entry in the Exhibitor and Industry Directory as well as in the Visitor Guide is managed by the publishing house LOPEC Media Services c/o jl. Medien e.K. This is our only partner in this area.
- From mid-October, exhibitors will receive the proof of the Exhibitor and Industry Directory from the publisher. Please check the material and give the publisher appropriate feedback.
- Also make sure that you exhaust the scope of the entry included in the communication fee, which includes three entries in the list of goods and three destinations or brands (see also Conditions of Participation B, B10). This way, iterested visitors can find you more easily. Booking deadline for the exhibitor and industry directory: February 18, 2025.

We would like to point out that exhibitors are frequently contacted by outside companies that are supposedly acting on behalf of Messe München. Please note that these companies have not been commissioned by us.
