Traffic information for exhibitors and suppliers

Every minute counts when setting up your trade fair stand. So we are now offering you a new digital service to ensure that all materials, exhibits etc. are ready and available when you need them. VisiFair, our new space management system, allows you to designate and pre-book loading zones for a specific time, ensuring fast, efficient and reliable delivery and collection at the desired location.

Messe Berlin’s new VisiFair system ensures stress-free and on-schedule planning. The distribution and allocation of time slots for the various loading zones reduces congestion at the entrance gates considerably, thus saving precious time when assembling and dismantling stands.

➤ Exhibitors and suppliers can only enter the trade fair grounds for assembly and disassembly work after registering with the system and pre-booking a loading zone.

Loading zones can be booked via the following link: https://visifair-bookings.messe-berlin.de

The first step on this portal is to “Sign up” with the system. You can then to “Log in”. To book a loading zone, you must first register for the respective event in the “Upcoming events” menu. To do this, you need the “Event code”.

The VisiFair booking portal will be opened soon.

Event code: You will find the code here

After registering for the respective event, you can book a time slot for the loading zone in the “Registered events” menu.

To ensure smooth traffic flows during assembly and dismantling, it is essential that you observe the entry regulations set out in the Traffic Guide.

The stand sides bordering the aisles used by visitors must be designed to be permanently open in order to conform to the open character of exhibition stands at this event. The closed section along the side of an aisle must not exceed 30% of the total length and must feature a graphic design on the side facing the aisle.

The rear walls of stands which adjoin neighboring stands should be neutral white in order not to adversely affect the design of the neighboring stands. Lessees must erect a seamless, stable white partition facing directly adjacent stands, and this partition should not display any advertising statements. Messe Berlin GmbH reserves the right to reject any defective work or to alter or remove it at the exhibitor’s expense.

Official approval for individual stands is mandatory.

Independent of the general supervision provided, we recommend that you arrange security for your stand to ensure that it are protected as the hall supervision service does not accept liability for any claims. In this context, please note that valuable objects should be protected, particularly during the setting up and dismantling phases.

Stand security services can be ordered in good time before the event at the Exhibitor Shop (Services > Stand services > Stand security) (available as of the 4th quarter 2023). In accordance with Item 2.5 “Surveillance” of our Technical Guidelines stand guards may only be provided by the security company contracted by Messe Berlin.
