Highlighted activities and program notes
Programmed theme weekends are a clear scheduling point. On 03 and 04 October Hall 5 runs “Gesundheit” and “Beauty Days”. On 10 and 11 October Hall 5 presents “Kreativzeit”. The “Japan erleben” special exhibition occupies Halls 10 and 11 throughout the show.
Commercial prospecting tactics
To turn visits into business outcomes, consider these tactical moves:
- Prioritise meetings by hall according to your target segment. Halls 1 and 2 are the logical choice for construction and renovation suppliers.
- Invite local prospects using family or afternoon tickets to coordinate demonstrations when footfall suits consumer products.
- Schedule B2B conversations on weekdays to avoid weekend crowds in Hall 5.
- Prepare sensory samples for Halls 3, 4 and the outdoor area where food and garden displays attract attention.
These steps help shorten the supplier selection process and increase meeting efficiency.
