The minimum stand size at electronica 2012 is 20 m². Due to the layout of the hall, smaller stands are not possible.
There is one exception, i.e. so-called combination packages in certain exhibition sectors (Automotive, Wireless, World of MEMS, Embedded, Software Village). The stands are 9 and 12 m² in size. These packages are only available in the areas mentioned above, and they can only be booked by companies whose primary area of activity corresponds to the product category in question.

Planning and organizing an exhibit is generally a complicated, time-consuming process. As an organizer of trade fairs and exhibitions, Messe München International looks back on many years of experience and has a number of sensible and affordable combination packages available for exhibitors in specific exhibition sectors. They help small companies to optimize their presentations, and six different models are available. However, please remember that these combination packages are available exclusively to companies that sell products in the exhibition sector in question.

Yes, provided you cancel during the phase between registration and stand proposal, i.e. before you confirm our stand-location offer.

Cancellation fees are incurred when an exhibitor wants to give back his stand space after having confirmed his stand proposal in writing. Cancellations must be submitted in writing.

If the stand can be rented to another exhibitor, the cancellation fee is 25% of the participation fee. If the stand space cannot be rented to another party, the exhibitor will be charged 100% of the participation fee. For additional information, please refer to the General Terms of Participation ”A 5 Cancellation of contract”.

For a stand with 20 m² of space, exhibitors receive 3 free exhibitor passes for the duration of the trade fair. For each additional 20 m² of space or portion thereof, they receive one additional free exhibitor pass.
Exhibitors that book a combination package in one of the focus areas (Automotive, Wireless, World of MEMS, Embedded, Software Village) are issued two free passes per stand.
Please keep in mind that exhibitor passes are only intended for stand personnel and may not be passed on to third parties. As opposed to visitor or guest tickets, holders of exhibitor passes may leave and re-enter the grounds of the trade-fair center to take care of important business, for example. Exhibitor passes are valid on all four days of the fair. No passes are necessary to enter the grounds of the trade-fair center during the setup period.
Please keep in mind that exhibitor passes do NOT entitle the holder to use public transportation in Munich free of charge.

The number of free exhibitor passes does NOT increase if a company has co-exhibitors or additionally represented companies at its stand. Additional exhibitor passes may be purchased through the online Exhibitor Center or at the Exhibitor Pass Counter at the fair for a fee of EUR 30 per pass.
Please keep in mind that exhibitor passes do NOT entitle the holder to use public transportation in Munich free of charge.

The Association of the German Trade Fair Industry (AUMA) represents the interests of the trade-fair industry in Germany and offers an extensive range of services. In return, it charges exhibitors a net fee of EUR 0.60 per square meter of rented exhibition space.
This fee is invoiced by Messe München International and forwarded directly to AUMA. This is standard procedure for trade-fair corporations in Germany. Information about AUMA is available here: www.auma-messen.de

Regardless of the existence or size of your service order, a fixed advance fee for services (e.g. electricity, water, telephone connections, exhibitor passes that are subject to a fee, vouchers for 1-day tickets, etc.) of EUR 20 (net) per square meter of rented exhibition space is included in the admission invoice. After the fair, this advance payment will be applied to costs incurred for services actually ordered.

The flat-rate waste disposal fee of EUR 1.50 per m² of exhibition space plus VAT covers the disposal of all waste generated at the exhibitor’s stand for the duration of the trade fair. All waste must be disposed of according to the rules stipulated under Item 6.1 of the Technical Guidelines.

The communications fee includes a basic entry in the catalog (printed and online versions), a basic entry in the Visitor Guide, and one copy of the printed catalog (available at the fair) in accordance with Section B 12 Catalog (print and online)

What is the difference between a co-exhibitor and an additionally represented company?

• A co-exhibitor has its own staff and own products on display at the stand of a main exhibitor. That includes group companies and subsidiaries.
• An additionally represented company has products and/or services for sale at the stand of a main exhibitor, but the company is not represented by its own employees at the stand. Please keep in mind that distributorships that exhibit the products of various manufacturers must register those manufacturers as additionally represented companies.

Main exhibitors will be invoiced a fee of EUR 200 for co-exhibitors and additionally represented companies at their stand.
Main exhibitors are required to register all co-exhibitors and additionally represented companies. You may do so using this form
