PLEASE NOTE:
The catering is located in the backstage area on the 1st floor and does not have enough space for all exhibitors to eat at the same time. So please split your time among yourselves and, in addition to the seating in the backstage area, also use the seating on our outdoor terrace to ease everything a little in terms of time and space.
Food and drinks may NOT be taken out of the catering area!
If you need drinks at the booth, you can either order drinks using the above form or bring drinks for your own consumption(!). In addition, drinks and snacks are available at various bars in the Verti Music Hall for the entire duration of the trade fair (10 AM to 5 PM) on a self-pay basis.
When planning your stand, please pay attention to the size of the space you have chosen. In order to keep the escape route clear, the booths and the furniture must not extend beyond the booth boundaries under any circumstances (not even 5 cm!).
Our standard booth sizes are as follows (provided you have not specified a different size in the registration form) (width x depth):
- Beginner: 1x2 m
- Junior: 2x2 m
- Senior: 3x2 m
- Executive: 3x3 m

- Flooring: The hall itself has a smooth concrete floor. A carpet or similar is not necessary for your booth setup, but is recommended.
- If necessary, please have the B1 certificates (fire protection) ready for materials or objects you have brought with you for your stand construction. We have been informed that there may be checks by the building inspector or the fire brigade. The certificates should generally be available from the manufacturer or when renting. If these are not available, we recommend taking a fire extinguisher with you.
