Depending on the size of the booked stand exhibitors receive an adequate number of unlimited access cards (with 3 access permits each) free of charge for the personnel on the stand. Additionally required access cards have to be ordered. The access cards will be validated.

• Example A: 3 people who will man the exhibition stand enter the exhibition grounds with 1 access card. The access card will be validated 3 times, e.g., for three people, and cannot be used again for further access.
• Example B: 1 person who will man the exhibition stand enters the exhibition grounds with 1 access card. The card will be validated once. Therefore, the card can be used for access on the other two event days.
• (Please note: In the event of two-day or 4-day events the access cards can be validated 2 or 4 times.)

If you leave the exhibition grounds during the exhibition, you receive a special card for taking a break in exchange for the access card.

The access cards are available in the fair office during the two days of stand set-up, or they can be sent to you in advance by registered letter for a fee of 4.50 € plus VAT (postage and handling; the price applies for European countries only). The cards will not be sent or issued until all outstanding invoices are paid.

For the stand set-up – on the morning of the first event day - you need access cards and parking permits. They are available in the fair office during the two days of stand set-up, or they can be sent to you in advance on request.
In case you have not received the tickets until stand set-up you are also able to load and unload for a maximum of 2 hours for a deposit of € 50/car.
