bauma 2016 Offers Unique Program for Potential Exhibitors Adapted from a Press Release from Messe München It is the largest trade fair in the world with regard to space, and every three years, it is the highlight for the construction, build- ing machines, and mining industries. We are talking about bauma, which takes place in Munich, Germany, for the 31st time April 11-17. For the first time ever, companies on the waiting list who have not yet been assigned space can have themselves listed in the bauma directory. The companies participate without stand space, although they will be included in t he on l i ne exhibitor di- rectory and listed under their respec- tive product categories. Th e y a l s o have access to a special lounge, so the y can make appointments and hold meetings there during the fair. In addition to lead management, they can also book other services such as electronic p ress compartments or advertising alternatives. The main reason for this step is the upcoming bauma event is already booked to capacity and there are waiting lists for several sectors . Naturally, Klaus Dittrich, CEO of Messe München, is pleased with the feedback from interested companies, although he also understands the related difficulties. "Just like in 2013, we have been unable to satisfy all the requests for space or for increases in space." Of course, the company does what it can to allow as many companies as possible to adequately participate in the fair. U nfortunately, it has reached its maximum capacity with regard to space. Dittrich explained the idea be- hind the new participation alternative, "We want to give companies that we have been unable to accommodate in the past an opportunity to call the bauma commu- nity's attention to themselves and their products, and to make contacts during the fair." For additional information about this new service, please contact the bauma Exhibition Group by e-mail (exhibiting@bauma.de).
