At the FKM shareholders’ meeting on 10 December 2025, the current Executive Board was unanimously confirmed for another three years in office.<\/p>\n

Dr Jochen Koeckler, Chairman of the Board of Deutsche Messe AG, Hanover, remains Chairman, Britta Wirtz, Managing Director of Karlsruher Messe- und Kongress GmbH, was re-elected as 1st Deputy Chairman, and Michael Koehler, Managing Director of RX Deutschland GmbH, D\u00fcsseldorf, was confirmed as 2nd Deputy Chairman. The trio stands for reliability, innovative strength and the consistent further development of certified trade fair data in Germany.<\/p>\n

Dr Jochen K\u00f6ckler, Chairman of the FKM: \u2018In order to compete internationally, trust in trade fairs and the communication of relevant key figures is essential \u2013 and this is where the FKM remains indispensable.\u2019<\/p>\n

Britta Wirtz, 1st Deputy Chair of the FKM: \u2018FKM data provides a solid basis for every exhibitor to decide whether to participate in a trade fair. Therefore, in the increasingly fierce competition for marketing budgets, a neutrally determined data basis is more important than ever.\u2019<\/p>\n

Michael Koehler, 2nd Deputy Chairman of the FKM: \u2018Reliable key figures form the basis for conceptual and strategic planning as well as investment decisions, because these are consistently aligned with measurable data \u2013 for us and, above all, for our customers. We have to deliver.\u2019<\/p>\n

The FKM is the only organisation in Germany for the independent certification and publication of trade fair data. Every year, the shareholders have over 150 trade fairs and exhibitions certified by the FKM testing organisation based in Berlin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
