Set-up/Dismantling Logistics & Access Regulation

[Translate to English:]

Access to the exhibition grounds for set-up and dismantling - with a pre-booked time slot only

If you want to drive a vehicle into a loading zone of the trade fair grounds during set-up and dismantling, you need a pre-booked time slot. The time slot is booked for a fee using the online tool VisiFair.*

To book a time slot for a specific trade fair, you need the VisiFair event code for that trade fair. As an exhibitor, you will receive this from the project management in good time before the fair, usually with your stand confirmation.

If you have successfully booked a time slot in VisiFair, you will receive an entry ticket (or a reservation ticket), which you will need at the access roads to prove the booking of your time slot. 
Access to the trade fair grounds for set-up and dismantling purposes is only possible within the pre-booked time slot.
