Important Stand Design and Set-Up Guidelines:

To ensure that your display at the trade fair is presented in the best possible way and that a harmonious overall appearance is maintained, we kindly ask you to consider the following points when designing your stand:

  • Exhibits may be placed up to the aisle boundary. However, please ensure that operating elements and staff remain within the official stand boundaries at all times.
  • For each open stand side, approximately 30% may be designed with closed walls. Please ensure that this does not impair the visibility and impact of adjacent or opposite stands.
  • Railings up to a height of 1 meter are not considered walls and are, of course, permitted.

If stand construction elements are used that do not comply with the specified requirements or are implemented without the appropriate approval, CloserStill Media Germany GmbH reserves the right to modify or remove them at the exhibitor’s expense and risk.

If you are planning alternative design concepts or special constructions, these can be reviewed. Please submit the corresponding applications no later than six weeks before the event. Approval in such cases requires the written consent of the directly affected neighbouring stands, which must be included with the application.

*Please note: The listed prices are subject to the applicable statutory value-added tax, the AUMA association fee, and insurance.
