Practical information for OstBau 2026
The fair is hosted at Ausstellungsgelände Börnicke in Bernau. OstBau 2026 runs from 18 to 20 June 2026 and addresses construction professionals and related trades. Outdoor demonstration areas are set up to allow hands-on testing of machines and attachments.
Visiting the site requires time management. Plan your route among stands and reserve slots to attend live demos so you can compare equipment performance directly.
Exhibitor profile and live demo format
OstBau 2026 brings together machinery manufacturers, dealers and suppliers of on-site solutions. Previous editions featured suppliers using outdoor spaces to showcase machines in operation.
Live demonstrations are central to the event. They allow evaluation of performance, maneuverability and machine configurations under realistic working conditions. For vendors and technicians, demos are the moment to present cycle times, couplings and accessory options on an actual worksite.
Key figures
Documented event history provides objective reference points: the first edition had 38 exhibitors in 2023 and the fourth edition registered about 100 exhibitors and an exhibition area close to 40,000 m².
B2B prospecting tactics during the fair
Set daily targets. Prioritize three contacts per day using clear criteria: role, purchasing potential and decision timeframe. Before approaching a prospect, identify the specific on-site problem your product solves; in a live demo it is more effective to show a direct operational benefit.
Capture the interaction on the spot. Take short technical notes and photos of the equipment during the demo to support follow-up proposals. Agree on a next step with a deadline and responsible person. Where possible, schedule a follow-up site visit for validation.
What to bring and how to prepare
Bring concise, visual technical documentation that highlights key specifications and configuration options. Avoid long brochures; provide unified data sheets with consumption figures and maintenance options. If certifications or technical tests are relevant, bring certificates and case references.
Allocate time for demonstrations and short on-site meetings beside the equipment. Ensure a member of your commercial team has technical expertise to answer workshop and field questions.
