Combined exhibitions are two or more exhibitions/trade fairs which take place at the same venue at the same time, overlap and/or take place alternately and can be used jointly by exhibition visitors.
Combined exhibitions may feature similar themes, but this is not mandatory.
Combined exhibitions may be managed by one or more exhibition organisers.
Exhibition visitor access to a combined exhibition may be granted in full or separately to each individual event.
Independent sections within exhibitions presenting various sectors of industry are to be treated as combined exhibitions, on condition they meet the following criteria:
- that they are held in an enclosed and strictly demarcated area
- that the exhibitors represent a physically independent unit
- that in respect of exhibitors and visitors separate adver-tising is used whose content specifically targets this independent section.
