At the trade fair, information is what attracts the attention of your target groups to your company and helps you to present your portfolio. Our press compartment services and the obligatory Basic Media Package for exhibitors will offer you the ideal framework for showcasing your company. But information can also serve to make your presentation even more successful. Why not make use of our VAT refund assistance service, for example? Many foreign companies can benefit from this.

As an exhibitor, you�ll be able to present your company in various ways through our Basic Media Package*. This package contains an entry in the online exhibitor database for the trade fair in addition to an entry in the printed catalogue. But that�s not all; a wide range of other features will help your company to make a great impact.

• An entry in the catalogue�s list of exhibitors
• An entry in the online exhibitor database of the trade fair
• An e-mail service: By clicking on your e-mail address, an e-mail window appears with a direct send function
• A hyperlink to your website

The catalogue does more than simply list what�s on at the trade fair over several days. It�s also a sector directory that can be used for reference even after the fair has closed for establishing new contacts. And with the help of innovative forms of advertising such as printable bookmarks, removable adhesive labels and inserts, it�s also a medium that communicates emotional appeal as well as mere facts.

Would you like to advertise in the trade fair catalogue? Just get in touch! We�ll be happy to help.

To supplement the Basic Media Package, you can opt to draw even greater attention to your company and your brand by having your logo printed in the catalogue�s list of exhibitors. That way, you�ll have a unique visual way of reaching out to your target group.

• Your company�s logo printed in the catalogue
• Your company�s logo featured in the online exhibitor database for the trade fair
  

*The Basic Media Package is obligatory for all exhibitors.

To help you optimise your press work, we provide press compartments that are an effective means of providing journalists and other target groups with information on your company.
