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.

Gross exhibition space

Stefan Dömelt — Tue, 05 Apr 2016 13:15:24 +0000

The gross exhibition space is defined as the hall space and/or outdoor space, which comprises the net exhibition space made up of stands (omitting upper tiers) and ancillary areas used for traffic and services for the exhibition in question.

Service areas are defined as areas which pertain directly to a respective exhibition but which may not be used by exhibitors for their presentations.

Service areas include temporary catering areas within the halls; areas for public authorities, associations and institutions used to provide general services for exhibitors and/or visitors; demonstration areas such as arenas, stages, halls etc. insofar as they do not fulfil the requirements of a special show space.

All areas designated for regular office use, for meetings and conferences etc. are not part of the gross exhibition space. Nor are storage areas, catering areas featuring permanent installations or corresponding outdoor areas part of the gross exhibition space.

At farming exhibitions, outdoor demonstration areas are calculated without any extra percentage as part of the gross exhibition space.
