Stage and event technology updates concentrate in Vienna every November and the 2026 edition targets technical heads and production managers. Meet & Adeventiv 2026 takes place 18 to 19 November 2026 in Vienna and brings together manufacturers and service providers for live events and theatre. Below we outline the event setup, the exhibitor mix and practical tips for B2B prospecting.
What Meet & Adeventiv 2026 assembles at Messe Wien
The event is hosted at Messe Wien, Hall D, also referenced as VIECON – Vienna Congress & Convention Center. The opening is scheduled for 18 November at 10:00 and public hours run from 10:00 to 18:00 on both 18 and 19 November 2026. The format pairs a professional trade fair with a fachtagung focused on events and theatre, enabling technical discussions and supplier demonstrations.
Exhibitor profile and technical areas
Meet & Adeventiv 2026 covers the technical disciplines central to theatre and large-event production. Key areas on display include theatre planning, audio technology, video technology, multimedia systems, lighting technology, stage construction and engineering, rigging, pyrotechnics, theatre outfitting, set construction, equipment rental, stand construction, safety and stage makeup. The official exhibitor count is 110, giving an idea of the event’s technical depth.
Numbers and practical format
The fair runs over two professional days with free access for trade visitors. The official exhibitor figure stands at 110 and the layout centers on demonstration areas and technical stands within Hall D at Messe Wien. The combined expo and conference format facilitates both hands-on evaluation and targeted technical meetings.
How to prepare B2B outreach at Meet & Adeventiv 2026
- Shortlist suppliers by technical area and set up meetings in advance. With 110 exhibitors, focusing on 8 to 12 priority targets increases efficiency.
- Bring project documentation. Technical sheets, stage plans and system specs speed technical conversations at stands.
- Confirm demos and technical checks ahead of time to ensure on-site availability.
- Ask about integration details. Inquiries on audio protocols, control systems and rigging limits help clarify feasibility.
- Clarify budget and timeline upfront to receive concrete proposals rather than open-ended offers.
Practical advice for technical visitors
Access is free for professionals according to the event information. Attend with clear project requirements and a meeting plan to make the most of two days. If your priority is theatre or live-event infrastructure, prioritize audio, rigging and stage construction exhibitors and confirm live demonstrations.
