Set-up/Dismantling Logistics & Access Regulation

[Translate to English:]

Access to the exhibition grounds for set-up and dismantling - with a pre-booked time slot only

If you want to drive a vehicle into a loading zone of the trade fair grounds during set-up and dismantling, you need a pre-booked time slot. The time slot is booked for a fee using the online tool VisiFair.

If you have successfully booked a time slot in VisiFair, you will receive an entry ticket (or a reservation ticket), which you will need at the access roads to prove the booking of your time slot. 
Access to the trade fair grounds for set-up and dismantling purposes is only possible within the pre-booked time slot.
